If the prize output is increased, then so would the cost for hosting the category. Cactus still needs to be making a profit somehow in order for the game to continue production.

If not double, can it at least be made even numbers across the board?

If not double, can it at least be made even numbers across the board?Wonderfully put, which helps explain some of the problem. Two players cannot split one "Victory card", nor can they divide 3 packs or a $9 Redemption Cash certificate. Why not increase packs to an even number, and increase Redemption cash to something like $10, and send TWO $5 certificates? Otherwise my partner and I have to work out who is going to give the other cash to buy out their share of the Redemption Cash. It is VERY inconvenient. If we want this type of event to see a lot of play, as I do because I enjoy it quite a bit, let's take away those things that discourage players from participating in it.
In most tournaments I have been at, one person takes the "winner card" and the other person gets the 1 extra pack. Everyone has seemed pretty happy with that arrangement.

Prof U =/= Prof A. One is smarter and way better looking than the other. Out of my great humility, I will refrain from specifying which one, so as to avoid hurting Mark's feelings.

And I'll refrain from pointing out who can decimate the other in competitions of the mind (Tetris/LOTR Risk/Diplomacy/Star Wars Epic Duels/Twixt/Fortress America/Ticket to Ride) and body (Tetherball/Fussball/Jenga).

I don't even know what Diplomacy through Ticket to Ride are (except Twixt, which I have played a few times), so those don't count. Risk of any kind is nearly impossible to determine who is better based on a 2-player match, the winner is almost completely determined by who goes first (I realized this when my then 8 year-old brother swept the rest of the family in 2-player games, including my dad who has played Risk for thirty years). Tetris I'll give you, as your reputation is well established here, and Twixt I couldn't be sure on. However, when it comes to Scrabble, Chess, Checkers, or Cribbage, I would venture to say that I would have the upper hand. Trivial Pursuit might be a toss-up, depending on the questions we each got. I probably have the disadvantage at tetherball, mostly because I was homeschooled during my elementary years and never had recess. I used to play Foosball (the CORRECT spelling of the game, fyi; I'm not sure what "Fussball" is) quite a bit, but I haven't in awhile so you might have me there too. I will admit my coordination and steadiness of hand is not great, so I wouldn't be surprised if you would best me in Jenga. Back to Twixt, is there anyway to play that online? I'd be interested to find out, as my parents have it, but I have only played it a few times. Also, we are Facebook friends, so if you ever want to know the real meaning of being humbled, I'll challenge you to a game of Scrabble. Sincerely,Prof A (A is in Awesome)
Wouldn't it be Prof U U, then? Prof Uber Underwood.
