What it's really about
The situation
He merged four pull requests this week. He has no payslip. Someone explained that it was a learning opportunity, and he seems to believe it, which is the uncomfortable part.
Why those numbers
Two story points only — but +3 against the Dev role, so five against half the table. He takes a piece of gear when he wins. For his portfolio.
How to play it
The humiliating bug. A level 3 Dev with no setup can genuinely lose to the Unpaid Intern, and the table will remember it until the end of the game.
Bugs
What you pull from the Tickets pile. Your velocity has to land strictly above their story points — and your friends will inflate them.
