Proposal: Bet It All On Black Garlic

Add a new rule called “Wagers” with the following text

(Today Only): The rest of this rule is flavor text

Each Truck can have a wager, which is a number between 1 and 6 inclusive. Wagers default to 1 and are privately tracked by the yard. Trucks may change their wager as a virtual action.

During the “They buy their meal” step of performing a sale, if a Truck would gain any dollars (let D by the total dollars they would gain during this step) and has a wager greater than 1 (W) the Yard first rolls a DICEW. If the result is greater than 1, that Truck instead does not gain any dollars. If the result is a 1, that Truck instead gains W * D dollars.

Give people behind a chance to come back by say, selling something for $20 hitting the 1/6 odds and suddenly gaining $120

I think this is very random, especially with around 3-5 nights left to go. Catchup mechanics are good, but catching up with +60 dollars? However, I like the spirit of it. imperial

I’ve preferred a minimal amount of randomness so far, so imperial with a lean of against.

against If I’m remembering correctly,86 Dollars is the highest amount of income a Truck has made in a single Night. To me, adding the random chance to gain about 1.5x that amount from a single Sale does not make for interesting gameplay.
