### Casting

Applications were released on ???, 2023. Production was particular on balancing out the cast to have the perfect ratio of genders and poc vs non-poc players.

	+ **Mateo's Magic Vodka:** The buyer would receive a costume at the next session. (1 GROOVE-DIME)
	+ **Marky's Miracle Wine:** The buyer would receive a Never-Not Pass, preventing them from being a have-not until the phase is over. (2 GROOVE-DIMES)
	+ **Madden's Maddening Spirit:** The buyer would receive a vote block, eligible for use up until the Final 6. (3 GROOVE-DIMES)
	+ **Isaiah's Indulging Tequila:** The buyer would receive an extra vote, eligible for use up until the Final 6. (4 GROOVE-DIMES)
