BARTERER [O:WWW:2L] OFFERS EXCHANGES Rick Katz (Lucre)
You have the power to dicker. Start the game with a store of Lucre equal to 10 times the number of
players in the game. Once per challenge in which you are not a main
player, before cards are played, you may offer another player
Lucre from your store in exchange for any card(s), a base, or the
first challenge of his next turn (if you lose or fail to deal during
that challenge, he forfeits his second challenge). You ask
for the item, the other player then may set a price. If you
accept his price, pay him the Lucre and take the item. You
may make one counter offer for fewer Lucre. If he does not agree
to the revised offer, you may accept the original terms. At any
time you may put Lucre from your star disc into the store, but Lucre
may only leave the store as part of a barter agreement.
