(Alternatively, players can use coins to track scores between games, with the loser paying everyone one coin, paying her score in coins to the player with the lowest score, etc.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheapass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1978833371162,"sku":"CAG241","price":12.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Pairs-_Deluxe_Edition.jpg?v=1578609309","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/pairs-deluxe-edition","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
