This is so exciting! I love this idea! The graphics and gameplay are so fun, and the granny voice is hilarious. I’d definitely play a longer version, but I think I’m misunderstanding how the mechanics work.
On the first transaction in a round, every number in each category is added up to make the total on the register. But on subsequent rounds, the register total doesn’t always match the board total.
It seems like some categories are being counted as others after the first transaction…like they’re indented, and the game thinks they are a subset of another category? I had:
Produce 5
(indent) Meat 5
(indent) Dairy 4
Register total: 9
When I only used a $5 coupon for meat and a $5 coupon for dairy, the produce 5 disappeared like it wasn’t counted. I didn’t combine any categories.
I started the game over and tried again with a different round. On the second transaction:
(indent) Meat 6
Dry Goods 3
(indent) Dairy 8
Register total: 3
