How Pawnbroke works
- Customers bring items to sell: a pearl, a radio, a haunted doll, a monkey's paw. Buy one and place it on the shelf.
- At closing time every item pays out. Neighbouring items change what it pays, and each item shows tonight's payout before you close.
- Merge duplicates into better editions.
- Every five days Mr. Grin collects. Come up short and he takes all your cash and a finger.
- At night things happen: items smash, melt, grow and transform.
