“No playtester ever split even.” Were the playtests done with real money? Because I could imagine that making a big difference - people are much happier to screw over their friends with Monopoly money than with actual cash.,(reply>), @davidbod Interesting. Are you able to tell us more about the playtesting process?,(reply>), @awmperry Not true, actually. We playtested it with people fighting over 1% of the money, and you would be surprised how similar the patterns were.,(reply>), @L Sedge That’s exactly my point. It’s impossible to fully playtest it without replicating the full game with at least comparable sums.,(reply>), @awmperry But people being strangers also changes the stakes. You are more likely to screw over a stranger with real money than your friends, and are less likely to screw people over on high stakes in public.<br><br>I suspect it was probably played with real money at least sometimes, but with a smaller quantity (ie 600 instead of 6000 dollars),(reply>), Indeed. Doesn’t really affect the point, though; people will make different moral choices when the stakes are fictional.
