Proposal: Full Bars

In “Menus” replace “As a virtual Prep action, a Truck may change its Menu to any list of Dishes.” with

(Today Only:) As a virtual Prep action, a Truck may change its Menu to any list of Dishes.
(From Tomorrow:) As a virtual Prep action, an Open Truck may change its Menu to a list of at least five Dishes. No two Dishes on the same menu may have identical ingredients.

The meta appears to have shifted to people just having one highly priced menu item, knowing that’ll sell, and figuring its a pretty low chance that someone collides with it. Which yeah, if most people do that you’ve got reasonably good odds that will work. To me, that is pretty degenerative game play (especially because if you start fishing, either you get into the oyster business yourself or you help everyone else out in the oyster business by having more menu items without oysters) so lets force everyone to have a full menu.

I’d rather have a mechanic that offsets the advantage of having only 1 menu item, rather than forcing 5. Not sure what that mechanic would be just yet.

imperial for now but leaning against

against I prefer having at least some options for Menu size. I’ll make a counter proposal in a moment.

against I’m totally with you on the intent behind this but wouldn’t want to be forced to five Dishes.

against Same here. I agree with disliking 1-dish menus, but I think there’s a better solution than forcing 5-dish ones.
