Stand Fruit

Your second Main Match is Stand Fruit.

In Stand Fruit, players will be buying fruits from fictional sellers while trying to fulfill their secret conditions.

During the game, a game of modified Fruit Stand lasting four, eight-minute rounds will be played by 13 fake players, referred to as “vendors.” Each vendor has two fruits, and will privately select a price to sell both of their fruits at each round. Each of the five real players may ask three of the vendors questions about their plans at the start of every round to get information on the prices they will sell at.

Players start with 20$, and may choose to purchase from up to three of the vendors each round. Money is only spent by the highest spender that paid at least the seller’s price, who is the sole person to earn both of the vendors’ fruits. If this is a tie between two people, the vendor will split their fruit randomly. If this is a tie between three or more people, the vendor sells to the next highest person not in the tie. Vendors who are successfully purchased from will be out of stock for the next round, except in round 4, where all vendors will restock. Additionally, each vendor has a “loyalty program,” discounting the minimum price for people who have already bought from them by one dollar.

Players each have five conditions. Each condition a player has comes from a different category. The categories for conditions are: number of fruits (total), number of fruits (comparative), number of a specific fruit, habits, and spending. Additionally, once per game, players may discard a fruit in exchange for making a random one of their conditions public knowledge. Players may also, once per game, receive a predetermined special piece of information in exchange for making one of their conditions public knowledge.

Conditions come in five “batches,” one for each player. In reverse order of placement in the previous main match, players will choose a batch A through E, which will determine their five conditions for the duration of the main match.

Here are some examples of conditions that may or may not be in play, going by category.

1. Most total fruits purchased / neither the most nor the fewest total fruits purchased
2. More cherries than watermelons / More grapes than tangerines
3. Most strawberries / Fewest mangos
4. Bought a cherry every round / Bought from Guz every round he was selling
5. Spent a prime number of dollars / Spent at least 3 dollars every round

At the end of four rounds, the player who fulfilled the highest number of their conditions will win one Token of Life. If multiple people fulfilled the same highest number of conditions, the player among them with the highest amount of money remaining will win one Token of Life. If this, too, is tied, no Tokens of Life are given.
