If you are not having fun, then you are missing the point.
We also played with more than 8 players. We grabbed the tokens out of Wits&Wagers - pens, dry-erase boards, betting tokens. Since we were just playing for fun, we didn't care that the Select-o-Matic 5000 was unable to pick from those using W&W components. If we had cared, we would have used the Select-o-Matic 5001.
