I guess with 2 players remaining the one with the most coins automatically wins?

This makes the round of 3 especially interesting.

yes, and this round of four you set up for the round of three, while not getting eliminated. In theory it seems like the amount of coins wagered should increase each round, but I'm not sure about that...

And now the gaming talk begins... Will he bet high? Will he bet low? Can sometime be tricked out?

We'll just have to wait and see...

Well, I expected the amounts of coins to be higher for the previous rounds since betting highest is still way better than getting eliminated, but everyone tries to walk the fine line.

You have to walk the fine line. Lets say you don't, but everyone else does. You'll make it to the end, and everyone but one of the other people will lose before then. But that one person will have more coins left than you, and will win

Haha, well, I think I'm happy with my position now. I'll be betting 80 coins this round.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

galzria and tables seem like the only main contenders. I'm Having trouble seeing how jimmmmmm or I could win. You'd have to both die pretty much, or one of us two gets our coins back twice.

I'm pretty much out this turn away, I think. Trying to be too fancy in the hopes of catching Tables up. Can't let him have a lead after next round.

I think the next round is where stuff could get crazy. Really nobody is safe in this round... I think this game could be much more interesting if it were played over multiple rounds, with points depending on how far you get, rather than a winner takes all.

I think I should have pmed jimmm and arranged for us both to bid over 85 or so. That's the best way to give us both a chance in the round of 3.

I agree, this would be hilarious.

Also, would the new rules have changed the outcomes for this game?
