Better Variant: Make it Matter

First, ante up. Real Money.

For a 6 player game $20 apiece...$120 total

Winner gets $40, 2nd gets $30, 3rd gets $20, 4th gets $15, 5th gets $10, and 6th gets $5.

If the World ends, the entire pot of $120 is burned, shredded, flushed* Noone gets anything.


Now, scorched earth tactics have a real downside.

I'd BE VERY interested in a study done of this game...games played as written vs. games played with the above $ variant vs. games played with the money variant jacked to $100 or $500 or more apiece (i.e. a level we'd really feel)instead of $20

And see what this does to individual play tactics.



*or for a more socially concious variant, donated to a charity selected by the player with the fewest points (i.e. who hoarded the least)
