★ The second table

公共財ゲームGreater Good

The tax game from the election. Five rounds, five coins each round: put them in the tax box for everybody, or in your own box for yourself. Talk all you like, but only where the whole table can hear.

How to play
Each round

You get 5 new coins, alone in the room. Put any number in the tax box and the rest in your own box, which is yours to keep. Coins you don't place in time stay in your own box.

The tax box

All the tax is counted, doubled and shared out evenly among the players still in, rounded up. Only the total is ever shown, never who paid what.

To win

At least 40 coins, and the most at the table. If everybody pays everything, everybody ends with 50. If everybody keeps everything, nobody gets past 25.

Talk

Before each round there is time to talk, in front of the whole table. There are no private messages, and nobody talks while the coins go in.

The vote

Once per game, during a talk, anyone can call a vote to expel a player. A majority (3 of 5) expels them: they lose at once and their coins are forfeited.

The desk

If the host turns it on, you go into the room one by one, and you may leave coins and a note on the desk for the next player. Only they find it. That is how the traitors worked together in the manga.

Chips

Everyone puts the stake on the table. Under 40 coins or expelled, you lose it; 40 or more, you keep it. The winner takes the lost stakes. No winner: the house keeps them all.

Bots

When the host allows bots, some players at the table may be bots. They play by the same rules and see only what you see. Guess who.

Your coins stay secret until the end. Five players with the desk on play exactly like the manga.
