Book or Wait?
A card game about hotel prices, from TrippyBid. Each card is tonight's rate for a room. Book it, or hold out for a cheaper night before the hotel sells out.
Tonight$90→$70→$110→$40→SOLD OUT
House rules
Three rules, one decision
- Flip a room. Each trip deals a small pile of rooms. The top card $40 is tonight's rate. A SOLD OUT card hides in the pile, but never on top.
- Book it or wait. Waiting can get you a cheaper night. If SOLD OUT flips while you're still waiting, you pay the walk-in rate of $120.
- Book with TrippyBid, three times a game. If a lower rate flips after you book, you move down to it.
With TrippyBidBooked $70 → a $40 flips → you pay $40.ElsewhereBooked $70. You pay $70, whatever flips next.

Six trips, six keys
Every game visits each destination once, in a new order. Each one changes one rule.
Real hotel rates move too.
In the game you get three TrippyBid bookings. In real life every booking gets it: book your hotel once, and if the rate for your room drops before you check in, TrippyBid rebooks you at the lower price.
