Proposal: Route Switching

If the following text exists in the ruleset:

The Driver continues to roll until every possible value occurs at least once, then rearranges their list of Available Routes according to the first occurrence of each number (e.g. if they roll 3, 4, 2, 2, 3 1, then their third route becomes first, their fourth route becomes second, their second route becomes third, and their first route becomes last). Then the first five Routes in their pool (or all if there are fewer) become Active.

Replace it with:

The Driver continues to roll until every possible value except one occurs at least once, then rearranges their list of Available Routes according to the first occurrence of each number (e.g. if they roll 3, 4, 2, 2, 3 1, then their third route becomes first, their fourth route becomes second, their second route becomes third, and their first route becomes last). The route corresponding to the number that did not come up is placed last. They may then pay 3 Cash, and move any one route to any point in the list. Then the first five Routes in their pool (or all if there are fewer) become Active.

Makes it so that we don’t have to roll quite as much, and allows a bit of reorganization, though at a cost.

for My proposal cleans up the dice better, but I like the cash-for-manual-switch mechanic.

against because of the cash-for-switch.

for Shouldn’t the example stop after 3,4,2? (or, for sake of better demonstration, 3,4,4,3,2?)

The cash-for-switch is expensive enough to be tricky to use profitably.

It doesn’t fix the example, but hey.

veto per Ornithoper. Nothing requires a player to pay the cash to do the rearrangement.
