nice - sorry I missed the game.

I like the concept but you need to rethink the structure.  Going first is very bad.  That means the action is concentrated near the end of the round.  Might as well make it a 1 day (or 8 hour game) as there is no reason to play until the very end.

I can think of some modest changes which would make it more interesting (and beneficial to act earlier).

Willing to accept any suggestions. The basic premise was to present an indisputable method of verifying who wins. Using Lotto numbers in some fashion can do this.

I would've have taken the approach Freemoney did under the current structure. Buy a slot with high number of combinations and then more as other slots were purchased offsetting odds with the largest open gap between numbers. One would have to keep an eye on the payouts also.

I initially liked the strategy to the game but without people playing it becomes mundane and simplistic.

I have a couple of ideas as to tweak it but am willing to accept others.

Confirmed.

My thinking here was that probably only one person would come in after my early bid and I didn't know if I'd remember to come back and 1-up them. So I gave them a chance to choose peace and just take a half chance by playing 16 and leaving me the top half. But in fact I was here right before time and no one else was involved still so I took the bottom too.

I have a game in mind I want to try, gotta think on it a tad more though. Now I have some seed money for it!
