Get a loan for you and your family and start your own microbusiness. Craft bags, jewelery, clothing and sex toys out the plentiful resources you can find in the sprawling underground. Be rewarded for your creativitiy and try to keep your spirit high as your debt rises through the roof. Some families will make it and some will be broken. Being poor has never been as much fun as today at Nyugati.
Preparation
First of all: Find a fitting place. The players need to be able to buy wildly differing items that they can dismantle and combine in crazy or meaningful ways in a short amount of time. So the shops need to be closeby and have dirty cheap stuff for sale. Warning: For every new place and every new time you will need to rebalance the sales sheet or else the game gets to hard or to easy.
