Thanks for playing, and for your feedback! I agree that the info popup is lacking any real ...info. I had initially added all the rules in a list on the Help/ Info page but then removed those as it felt like I was holding the player's hand too much. But given the feedback from you as well as from some others, now I should probably add the Rules back to make it clear what the game is (and yeah, it's a variation of blackjack like you said):
- A startup can have a valuation between 18 to 24 (both inclusive)
- Your aim is to get as close as to the valuation as possible but the valuation is not shown to you (and it's not necessarily 21, it can be anything between 18 and 24)
- If the market (dealer) goes above 24, they go bust and you win
- If you go above 24, you go bust and the market wins
- Risk it is a special mechanic like a double down: You are committing to picking just one more card to submit your final guess but this means that IF you win, you will get 4X the return
- If you guess the valuation precisely (Unicorn), you will get a payout either 3X, 4X or 5X.
- if you win but were not perfect in your valuation, you get 2X of your investment instead
- The real payout happens when both the Risk it multiplier and the Unicorn multiplier happen simultaneously- either 12X, 16X or 20X
Hopefully that makes sense, and I'd love to know if adding all this to the help/ info popup will make sense (it seems like that's the feedback so far)
