I do not purchase LaCroix. This world is angry enough; I do not need my water to participate in it.

Steam does this. Loans are $5 in and out, pay $1 a turn.

It's a deck builder. Makes no sense to stop and count the cards in your deck, or keep track of how many there are.

Pay in pay out is about the only way it works.

That's like, you've got great teeth, I'd love to see lettuce stuck in them

The person that taught me this game did a good job framing it. Something to the effect of : You are going to get blown up a lot. Enjoy the explosions and celebrate the lack of them.

Knowing that it's a game where you're expected to be blown to bits makes it way more fun than daunting.

nighty night. don't let the mastercard bite

It is! But that's less the point. Just want to know if counting up groups of $6 at the end is more annoying than having to count in terms of $4 now. And your next reply tells me the answer. :P

In the game I've got, you end up taking a decent amount of loans early in the game, and it's a reasonable option until later, and can be a profit engine if you have a way to make the debt "disappear..."

So it can be something you're frequenting. It's not a one time or painful maneuver

I still would love to give it a test!

German Railways is my most played. The company powers! and the turn mechanism is so infuriating but fun.

(1st income puts chip in bag, 2nd puts 2, etc. draw 5 chips. Those 5 are the actions for this round. Some players get skipped, some get lots of actions!)
