No playtester ever split evenly was a very interesting statement! I'd have loved if they had some kind of post game interviews especially if it was a round the table thing and they all shared how much they each got and maybe chose to disclose at what points they lied!,(reply>), @TomDufall yea I don't think a halfway one would work, you want them entirely drawn in to the game! But postgame to just see their reactions to each other over choices they made would be interesting!,(reply>), I think individual interviews would be more interesting. Ideally, a halfway one as well, but that might disrupt the flow of the games and you don't want it to turn into reality TV either.,(reply>), @rmsgrey also true, though usually most test players do have the brains to at least try and treat the game as they would if the money was real, that is very much the point of their job!,(reply>), I imagine that test games didn't hand out real money, which does make a difference.,(reply>), @clem b I feel that is likely, also depends how many tests they did! there's a lot of similarities in that last round to a TV show called golden balls, at the end 2 players could either split or steal the money. None of them no each other before the game, some split some steal, I don't know the ratio from that but knowing the people would certainly make a split more likely!
