Less so when there's 3 or less players, but it seems more feasible to just put a small pencil and pad in the box and just use that to keep track of score. It'd be easier than counting people's reserve of coins. Granted, with many players, while one or 2 players set up the "board", 1 or 2 more players counting out the coins couldn't take any longer, but still.... paper and pencil seem better. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/2447705#2447705 2008-07-04T01:36:40+00:00 ackmondual
