Forget penalty points.
Each player starts with 10 coins.
Every round, all players place 1 coin in the pot.
The winner of the round takes the pot.
Players can raise the stakes by shouting “Fry!”, adding an extra coin to the pot or doubling the stakes for that round.
Goal
Be the last player with coins or collect them all.
Why it works
Turns Fried Potatoes into a fast bluffing and betting game where every round suddenly matters.
