• Gary : 132 = 104 + 28 dept store bonus

Is the track limit needed the time/action limit is so tight?

Suggestions/Actions

next:

• remove track limit to see if it is still necessary
• experiment with dept store bonus
  • give a set collection bonus instead of direct VP bonus
  • re-inforce what is already in the game
• Add one more double-customer per type
  • That way every type has at least one double-customer
  • Electronics has 2 singles (symmetry with Food)
  • 8/8 split for Books
