I mean change it such that there be X amount of Bonus Boxes at all times, 
and have % chance for a box to be a certain type when it is discovered.  And 
for things like Rings, their chance to be be found would be set to 0 if they 
already were found.

Actually, a lot more stops him, as the rules require there to be an exact 
number of several of the boxes.
