Is it possible to play this game with poker chips instead of writing down payouts? Maybe a separate compartment or envelope or card for each of the agents. One problem I see with the game is if somebody does their math wrong, they can cheat inadvertently.

Sonja,
You could, but it might not be practical. You will ultimately spend every dollar you have, and you would therefore need enough currency to be able to split in many combinations. Worst case, you would need 100 chips in $100 dollars denominations for each player, and that would lead to managing many tall piles of chips. Otherwise, you will be forced to constantly make change and that could also lead to errors, not to mention what happens if the piles accidentally get knocked over or displaced.
Usually, the best way is to simply force everyone to doublecheck their expenditure total at a few points in the game.
Did you play this with us? It's a game we play on occasion.

Yup! I played once with you! That's how I got interested! Then I ended up receiving the game in the Toronto math trade a few months ago, woohoo!

Plus, it's much harder to keep stacks of chips secret.

I use invisible poker chips. They work great!
