In the Sale action, replace the bullet beginning “They look around” with:-
* (Today Only:) They look around: If any Dishes with identical ingredients as the Choice are available with a lower price on another Open Truck’s Menu, the Yard selects the Dish of whichever of those Trucks has the lowest Pitch number, and this becomes the Active Customer’s Choice instead
* (From Tomorrow:) They look around: If any Dishes with identical ingredients as the Choice are available with a lower price on another Open Truck’s Menu, the Yard selects the Dish of whichever of those Trucks has the highest Pitch number, and this becomes the Active Customer’s Choice instead
In the Night action, change “increasing order of Pitch” to “decreasing order of Pitch”.
I accidentally wrote this tiebreak on the misread that low pitch numbers were intended to be the better ones, then proposed a the Pitch Assignment action to say that high numbers were better (in that if two trucks clash for a space, they are assigned the lowest possible numbers).
A couple of players preferred this mismatch in proposal comments, but it probably deserves a clear vote.
to keep the status quo
JonathanDark: he/him
The mismatch is interesting, because it produces the following outcomes:
* Trucks who set a Desired Pitch that is uncontested get them
* Trucks who didn’t set a Desired Pitch get the worst ones first
* Trucks who set a Desired Pitch that was contested by other Trucks get the better ones (in order from worst-to-best) available after the above Trucks
So currently it favors setting a Desired Pitch over not setting one. If we want setting a Desired Pitch to be higher stakes, we could either go with what Kevan is suggesting, or simply switch the order of the bulleted steps so that the Trucks with contested Desired Pitches get the worst Pitches first, making not setting a Desired Pitch have somewhat of a strategic advantage.
