Let me bring back my currency from the Nomic game we ran a long time ago.

The LightBulb Market

Initialization

All players start with 20 lightbulbs.

Actions

• You may roll 1d4 to gain that many lightbulbs, cooldown is 20 hours. Can be done anywhere.
• You may invest in the lightbulb market. The price starts at 5, but increases by one for every person who invests. So if 4 people have already invested, the cost is 9.
• You may cash in your investment to gain lightbulbs back. The sell value is 5 plus the number of other people who have invested. You may not invest or sell if you did one of them in the past 20 hours (i.e. they share a 24h cooldown).

Confused... are you allowing someone to invest and also get income in the same day? That was how my original post did it but no one seems to be doing that...

I think that it would be better if you decided to manage the market. You have the power to edit any post including post #1.

I feel like lightbulb markets are a curse. Twice now I used them in a game and it died prematurely.
