@puppycup We do that as well in Bohnanza, but we don’t write it down (since it’s not binding). It does give the game some room to stretch though. Oddly enough, this was one of the things that John Company (the first edition) did as well; it gave you an IOU in the form of a cube and you essentially could treat it as currency as to when that favor would be redeemed (and there were some conditions on how it was redeemed there, but point stands, it created a currency of sorts).
