He kept wanting my Coppers, after I locked Coppers down, and was all like “But Copper for you is Silver, and for me it is just silver” – totally ignoring the fact that the math would totally screw up if I got rid of coppers, and went under 10. Yeah, we need another haggle game. So, what wooshed me now? ---

I have a copy of the exact book he got the idea from… it’s not that hard to do. Naf and I have a Haggle ish idea that is … not even half baked. I have an idea for a Mafia Feud Hybrid as well… that is well, 75% baked, if you will. ---

If you think it still retains any of it’s poutine goodness, then I’ll try it. Got to be better than that fosters. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > How does Haggle work? Essentially, there is a deck of cards and a list of ‘rules’. The cards may have letters, numbers, objects, or whatever depending on the nature of the game. Certain combinations of the cards are worth a pre-determined number of points. The rules describe those combinations. The cards and rules are divided among the players. The game entails trading cards and rules. The objective is to end the game with the most points. ---

You had to bring THAT one up, the one that, I think we all agreed had a broken rule set. Try this one [Dragon’s Hoard Haggle](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=465689&highlight=Dragon%27s+hoard+haggle) In this one, you will find one OreDigger77 trying for my Copper, after I pretty much locked down Copper, as was my intent. \*\*And for the Record, It was my style of Haggle play that I learned of Peeker’s Reputation, and that I learned about a crazy game called Mafia. \*\* ---
