How to play
Each round you're paired with someone over a pot of points.
Talk first (canned lines only), then secretly choose SPLIT or STEAL.
Both split: share it. One steals: they take it all. Both steal: nobody gets anything.
Everyone's record of splits and steals is public, so grudges build.
Last round is the Golden Pot: everyone in one pot. One thief takes it all, two or more get nothing.
