FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When paying another manager, do I get change?

There is no change in the game. Try pay your opposing managers as close to their requirements as possible.

If my Bucks run out, what happens?

If you need to pay another manager and the Bucks on your table runs out, you need to pay them with Players & Staff cards on your table (this sucks).

You never pay with cards in your hand.

Can I use my Bucks to buy Players & Staff from other managers?

No, you can only get them through stealing and swapping with Substitute, Intercept and Bomb Squad cards.
