MEGA HIT

He Deleted His Account

MEGA HIT — take 8 and announce 'I was right' to the table. You must CHASE at least once more this turn before you may CASH OUT — you're still refreshing his profile.
"The account is gone. He still wins the argument in the shower twice a week."

MEGA CRASH

Someone Is Being You

MEGA CRASH — the pot sweeps your whole High; your turn ends. Someone has your name, your PIN and your face: on your next turn the player to your left makes every CHASE and CASH OUT choice for you, and whatever they CASH OUT that turn goes into THEIR stack.
"He's you now. Frankly, he's better at it."

MEGA CRASH

The Photo at Every Door

MEGA CRASH — the pot sweeps your whole High AND takes 2 of your banked chips — security keeps whatever's on the table; your turn ends. The next 2 times you CASH OUT, the pot takes 1 chip of it on the way past the door: someone else carries it out for you now, and he charges.
"They laminated it. They shared it. It is not a flattering photo."

MEGA CRASH

Everything Was on the Phone

MEGA CRASH — the pot sweeps your whole High; your turn ends — the wallet, the tickets and the way home were all behind that black screen. Then every player, you included, checks their real phone: the pot takes 1 banked chip from anyone at 20% battery or less. It could have been any of you.
"The tickets were in the phone. The wallet was in the phone. The flashlight for finding the charger was also in the phone."

Greeted by Name

The Card From Grandma

ROCK BOTTOM — your High is swept; your turn ends. Say 'Don't spend it all in one place' aloud, then tell the table the one place you're going to spend it all. If you have 0 banked chips: she tucked in an extra — take 5 from the pot into your stack. She can never find out.
"She's on a fixed income. His is more of a variable."
