How to play:Become a Player by donating to the pot. Work with other Players to decide what to spend the group’s money on. You have 1 hour to come to a decision. If you decide unanimously in the allotted time you get to take the money away and spend it. But if you don’t agree with your fellow players you relinquish your privilege to spend the money and the money rolls over to the next show.

If you’re the quiet observing type you can become a Silent Witness and watch as the group of Players attempt to decide how to spend the money they’ve donated. And if you want to voice your opinion you can always become a Player by buying your way in.Spend the money on whatever you want. Be as creative as you like. Just keep within the law.
