I have never really played a lotta Pig and now I wanna ask some nooby questions: Why is it an advantage if the number of jigsaw boxes get increased? What actually does happen if someone failes a skillcheck at a jigsaw box?

    Advantage to more jigsaw boxes:
    Basically, when you place a bear trap on someone's head, it is basically linked with a random jigsaw box. Having an extra box means that Survivors may have to search through more than just four boxes.
    What happens upon failing a skill check:
    They have to start over.

    They dont have to start over, they only lose a little bit of progressive. She has an add-on that causes it to pretty much start over. Missing skills checks on the boxes are super rare anyway.

    you start off with 4 jigsaw boxes. That means as soon as you trap someone and they get up, they have a 25% chance of picking the correct box as soon as they get to one.

    Now, lets make it a bit more sadistic. You can stack 2 addons that bring your jigsaw box total to 6. Thats 6 jigsaw boxes to search to get the helmet off. That drops their chance to remove the box initially down to 16.6%.

    Okay. I honestly wasn't sure since I don't go up against Amanda often.
