- Use slider in Revenue Estimater to set predicted hours fished, on average by others.
- To choose the number of hours in your production slider, press "Fish "XX" Hours".
- Each player can choose up to Max Hours of fishing
- Revenue per Hour = (Max Hours × Group Size) - Total Hours Fished by Group
- Your Payoff = Hours You Fish × Revenue per Hour
- Each of five players can fish up to 30 hours
- You choose 24 hours, others choose 84 hours in total
- Revenue per Hour = (30 × 5) - (84+24) = 150 - 108 = $42
