Initial Writeup
-
There are a total of 52 cards in play
-
Every Market Maker is given 5 cards
-
The speculator only has 3 cards (Stronger in the endgame?)
-
The remaining 29 cards are revealed one at a time after which the players can bid on a suit
-
The suit at the bottom pays out contracts:
-
All contracts are worth £1
-
Contracts that didn't pay out (other suits) are worth £0
-
Win condition? (Get the most money...)
-
The game seems more behavioural
For each suit, at any given point in time the probability of it being at the bottom is
(13 - revealed - hidden_in_hand) / (52 - revealed)
