Reorganization Costs for Traditional Society

End of Round Scoring
In the final phase of the round, each individual will tally his or her current wealth points and happiness points.
Lifestyle:
At this point, a player may wish to spend wealth on maintaining a lifestyle. Every point spent on lifestyle equates to an increase in happiness points for the round.
At the beginning of the score phase, however, the player must subtract the happiness equivalent to the lifestyle purchased the previous round. This models our tendency to grow accustomed to a specific way of living.
Vacations:
Individual wealth may also be spent along with leftover Activity points on Vacations or other Leisure activity, and the benefit is the total activity points plus wealth points converted to happiness points.
An individual can spend no more than 3 Activity points on leisure/vacations a round.
The next round, during the score phase, the individual must subtract ½ of the total happiness points gained by any leisure/vacations spent the round before. This models our ability to quickly forget the good times in the face of the current moment.
Final Scoring
At the end of the game, both societies will tally the individual wealth and happiness scores for every member, and then will create a total score by adding up all these points together. A highest member score and a lowest member score will be noted as well, denoting the individuals with the highest individual score and the lowest individual score, respectively. The team with the lowest span between highest and lowest will be granted an additional +20 happiness points. This is to reflect the lack of social unrest that is caused by great disparity between the upper and lower classes in a society.
