For the right price, I'll take them.

It will basically be made up of 10 four-feet high tubes with a single stack of tokens inside them. They will be aligned in a row over a hopper and each tube will have a string-loaded pull handle that can be used to drop one token from the tube at a time. So, if you have 3 pulls coming, you can take all three pulls from Tube #7 or do something like one of each from Tubes #3, #1 and #7. They will all fall into a hopper that directly the falling tokens into a cup. The player then dumps their cups contents into a hand or red solo cup nearby.

It should be fast and fun -- and reloading the tubes will be done by just swapping out pre-loaded PVC tubes. This way we can put any color and any texture chip into the mix.

Here is a rough mock-up of the design:

I will do my usual cataloging of pulls. It will be nice that I will know about how many I should have pre Gen Con this year. Around 650 over the entire con. Should work out to 6 UR, 3 Relics and 45k gold if my math is right.

My group should be doing around 550 token pulls. I'd be VERY happy if the percentages work out to what is listed above. That would be the best token pull GENCON we've had other than the special one.
I'm anticipating 200-210 pulls from m group. I wouldn't be unhappy with a lower trophy percentage. I think that number is going to mess with the Golden Fleece market pretty serious ly.
