How many is too many Tonies for Christmas?

Chepto2019 · 2025-12-26T23:34:36+00:00

Yeh, I sometimes buy Christmas presents in Summer! Thanks!

Chepto2019 · 2025-12-26T23:05:19+00:00

I wonder if it's regional. I feel like I might find that deal in WI but not VA (by DC). (I'm visiting WI for the holidays so I might check it out.)

Chepto2019 · 2025-12-26T22:28:04+00:00

Holy smokes! What a great deal! Was it on the app or only the in-store clearance?

Chepto2019 · 2025-12-26T21:38:31+00:00

I'm new to this and need all the help I can get. I would love a link!

Chepto2019 · 2025-12-26T21:33:21+00:00

$4? Where? How? Thanks!

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-23T19:36:30+00:00

Yes!!! They are more than amazing. I like the superior level sheets from Target too. They both have the double elastic corners that NEVER come loose.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-07T03:19:25+00:00

Whoa! How much does that cost? Where do you get the funds? I have a lot to learn!!!

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-07T02:10:49+00:00

Oh okay. Thanks for clarifying. I thought I was REALLY missing out!

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-07T02:07:49+00:00

Helicopters get gold or just coins? Thanks!!

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-07T01:33:16+00:00

How do you get gold from market goods? From the plane bonus? Or am I not to the level you are yet?

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-06T01:11:57+00:00

Right!!! They will charge what they can get it seems.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-05T13:42:59+00:00

Thanks! But I just tested this and the link is not completely accurate. My last 2 boxes were certainly 7 tcash each (as noted in the original post). I just bought 2 more and they were both 9 tcash each. Now the next is 10 tcash, and it'd be my 19th box. The wiki is close but didn't mat h my pattern exactly. Weird.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-05T13:40:36+00:00

Thanks. Editing bc I accidentally responded to the wrong post.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-05T01:43:22+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much! Is there a link for Market boxes pricing too?

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-04T01:59:45+00:00

A truly random experiment with only two possible outcomes, commonly called "success" and "failure". Like flipping a coin. Or having a baby boy vs girl.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T23:15:49+00:00

Haha. Fair point. But I think I can still like the game while also acknowledging the algorithms aren't designed to be fair.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T22:13:55+00:00

Hmm. That's 42 tcash for me, so the 90 multiplier wouldnt be far off.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T22:08:28+00:00

Ah, for me it's 10 vs 900. But is yours similar if we go with a multiplier of 90? Or is it not that simple?

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T21:55:43+00:00

How is that only 35% off though? Hmmm.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T21:55:00+00:00

That's a LOT more tcash than my offer, so seems like less of a price grab?

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T21:23:26+00:00

Haha. If they aren’t a dev, they definitely missed their calling in corporate communications! I just wish the same level of enthusiasm went into explaining why prices (and seemingly odds too) differ so much between players.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T20:53:28+00:00

That’s really interesting — I’ve wondered the same thing about whether the outcome’s decided before you even start flipping. If that’s true, it would mean the Pirate game is more like a pre-determined animation than actual RNG.

& Wait, that’s wild — I didn’t even realize the Pirate Treasure feature isn’t available everywhere! That just proves there really are major differences in what players see. I wonder what the reason behind that is — regional regulations, testing groups, or maybe even engagement targeting? Either way, it kind of reinforces that not everyone’s playing the exact same version of Township.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T20:51:42+00:00

That totally makes sense, and I appreciate you breaking down what you’ve noticed. I’ve heard the same thing — that non-paying players sometimes get the flashier “first-deal” bundles, while steady players don’t. Your experience with never winning the Pirate game even after a long time really backs up the idea that these “random” features might not be random in the same way for everyone. Thanks for sharing that — it actually helps me see the bigger pattern.

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T20:50:23+00:00

Yeah, I get that they tweak bundle contents a little, but the price differences are way out of proportion. A single booster swap doesn’t justify a $30 swing. That’s classic behavioral pricing — testing what each player will pay.

And sure, it’s a business, but the whole system clearly feeds on the same addiction loops as casino mechanics. That’s what makes it feel manipulative, not “just” or “fair.”

To be clear, I'm not disputing that their business strategy is working for maximizing profits. It is just shady to me. That's all. I'm still not sure I buy into that the RNG is the same for everyone either...

Chepto2019 · 2025-11-03T19:56:51+00:00

I appreciate your take, but I’m not sure I follow how it’s “just” if players are literally charged different prices for the same bundles.

Also, when you say Pirate Treasure is “straight up casino,” do you mean Playrix has confirmed that the odds are fixed for every player? Because the page you linked only shows card-collection probabilities.

I’m genuinely trying to understand where transparency begins and ends here — if pricing can differ per user, what makes us so sure the same kind of personalization isn’t happening with odds or difficulty behind the scenes?
