Earning it

The Deliveries board stands on the forecourt at Kerb & Sons, on the avenue east of the square. Take a parcel and get it to the building named on it before the clock runs out. There is always time to walk it, and you are paid on arrival. Get there quickly and there is a tip on top, which is what a car is for. Your Runabout is already yours: it starts out parked by the square, and a Drive button appears when you walk up to it.

The first time you reach a game's door, you are paid 15 for finding it. Every game pays once.

Spending it

Cars at Kerb & Sons, from 240. Furniture for your flat at No. 9, north-east of the square, from 60.
