The plaza in Fink: the Debate Hall with its orator in the pool, someone talking on the soapbox in the middle to a few people gathered round, three boards hanging overhead; as the film runs, more people walk in from the halls and the streets until the square is full — Fink Plaza, as of October 1st

One application, four parts

The city, the warehouse, your study, and everyone in it.

Above ground, Fink scores every minute itself. Under it, finkers build games for each other. Your study stays on your own machine. And whoever is in Fink is in it with you.

Your Study

Your classes as bookcases, a desk that keeps your minutes, a board of what's due. A folder on your own machine that nothing leaves.

Featured Game

The Coin Pusher

A hand of three cards from any subject, then the coins they minted go into the pusher. Push the pile, the chips and the capsules over the edge. In the Casino.

The Coin Pusher in the Fink app: the real machine under its cabinet's lights, the subject plates down both sides, every coin a body of its own — **In the app**The iFone's machine: every coin a body of its own.

How it goes in a minute

Answer a hand. Three cards from any subject, the Casino's deck or a deck of your own. A right answer pays XP as it does anywhere in Fink.
Mint the coins. What the hand paid is minted as Toil Coin, the Casino's own coin. It is worth nothing anywhere else, and that is the point.
Push the pile. Drop them in, one at a time, and push the pile, the chips and the capsules over the edge. Luck pays coins and never XP.
