GAME TIME!

Our game is called “MEAT or PUNK?” Niko gave the Crew a phrase. The Crew had to tell Niko if it’s the name of an overpriced burger or a critically-acclaimed punk album. We alternated; first person gets to answer, if they get it wrong, second person can try to steal. For bonus points, if they guess burger they can also guess how much it costs. If they're within $1 of the price, they got an extra point.
