RATATOSKR

You step into a small airy room made entirely of porcelain and frosted glass. Squishy armchairs — the old fashioned type; pretty velvet affairs with patterns of roses in your team’s color and legs of dark wood — line the walls.

Pride of place in the center of the room is a table, upon which rests: a list of instructions; a spread of cards; and a box made out of mirrored glass with eleven slits in the top. Each slit is outlined in a team color.

Beyond the table is a huge, floor to ceiling hourglass. A certain number of blood red crystals reside at the bottom ...

...[Looking over the cards.] ...Probably should save the kill, shouldn't we?

Yeah. That and remove a limb. I don't trust just yet that we could get away with some bullshit like, "just remove a finger, that counts!"

Pint of blood, prosopagnosia, and the mattress one?

I'd go with blood. Mattress isn't worth enough, we can save it as a buffer card later?

Fair enough.

Want to buy a lottery ticket, or wait to see what our bank is like next round?

We'll see what the bank looks like. The lottery seems premature so far.

What team do we wanna hit? If we're playing mid-value, we should probably hit a team likely to aim low.

I'd like to leave Epona and Takshaka alone, probably Henwen too. Unfortunately, Takshaka is probably the most likely out of every team to do the minimum as much as possible. Last time this sort of game happened, they ended up with over 60 points....in the negatives.

We don't need to join everyone else in destroying them right from the start. Other teams are harder to predict.....maybe Vanara.
