│  Just a fun idea I had. We should collect a list of interested parties
│  for an April tournament, best of 10 (permitting use of doubling cube)
│  per match, maybe with a $5 buy-in per person
│  
│  (winner gets 90% of funds, 10% of money goes toward paying VPS bill)
│  
│  Playing for nothing is also fine but $5 feels like enough to stake
│  that the games would be a little more interesting but nothing to get
│  upset over.
│  
│  Best of 10 may sound like a lot but incorporating the doubling cube,
│  1 game becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8 potentially very quickly... playing
│  with a small number of games per "match" gives RNG an advantage over
│  skill, which is something to be avoided
