Tradable Ante
This rule is a compelling alternative to the traditional Ante mechanic, designed to be used in Core Generation games only when all participating players explicitly agree. It introduces high-stakes decision-making while mitigating the risks associated with unilateral property transfer.

1. Rule Definition
1.1. Determining the Ante Card
Procedure: Before shuffling their decks, each player randomly removes one card from their deck and places it face-up in a designated "Ante Zone." This card is referred to as their Ante Card.
1.2. Resolution of the Ante
Once the game's winner is determined, the two Ante Cards (the winner's and the loser's) are resolved according to the following procedure.
1.3. The Right to Trade
The winner is granted the exclusive right to choose whether an exchange of Ante Cards will occur.
1.4. Executing the Trade
If the winner chooses to "Execute the Trade," the two Ante Cards are exchanged. The winner permanently acquires the loser's Ante Card, and the loser permanently acquires the winner's Ante Card.
1.5. Declining the Trade
If the winner chooses to "Decline the Trade," both Ante Cards are immediately returned to their original owners.
