The Restaurant Game

Overview: You are living in Bali and earn enough money to eat out once or twice a week. The rest of the time your own domestic goddess rustles you up a magnificent evening feast of free-range chicken, rice from the snow fed mountain plains and fresh veggies all on 2 gas rings. Every now and again the goddess needs a break so you have to take her out for a meal. However, the path to harmony is rocky and beleaguered with many pitfalls...

Object: To satisfy your goddess given your meagre earnings.

Players: 1.

Bank: You have a maximum of 250 Bok per week to spend on food. Goddess needs 10 Bok per day on groceries so at the end of 4 days you have 210 Bok in the bank and after 7 days you are down to 180. On the 8th day you get another 250 Bok so the frequency at which you can satisfy DG is variable depending on how much you are willing to spend. In simple terms, Feout = 250-(ein*10/7)

Dunlop ratings: Cost of dinner for 2 people

• 1 tyre =50 Bok
  
• 2 tyre=100 Bok
  
• 3 tyre=200 Bok
  
• 4 tyre=400 Bok
  
• 5 tyre=1000 Bok
  

So you can either eat out every day for 5 days at a 1 tyre restaurant and fast for 2 days or eat in for 5 days to accumulate enough Bok to eat at a 3 tyre place.

Restaurant politics:

1. Some do not pay all their taxes and could be shut down at any minute.
   
2. Some are run by tyrants who exploit local people - we don't want to support that.
3. Some covet your DG and will poison you to keep her (anyone seen my anti paranoia tablets?).
   
4. Some poach our customers so we boycott them.
   
5. Some have an over inflated tyre rating. (tee hee).
   
6. Some give us discount - we like these!

Bonuses: A wealthy landowner gives you 200 Bok.

Forfeits: A wealthy landowner expects you to supply wine at 200 Bok a bottle.

Gameplay: Each blank square on the board represents a night in and, if you land on one, costs you 10 Bok. The other squares are restaurants and clearly display their tyre rating. If you land on a restaurant that you can't afford to eat in, then all the other players must look down their noses at you until you cry. Some squares have a special meaning and may be bonuses or forfeits. Throwing a double 6 will get you a free spring roll. Here is 250 Bok, let's get started...
