B has typically conflated score with currency, I think, and kept more
interesting objects as almost subgames. Gnomes in era 1 were relevant
to the geographical fun and also to making various drinks to try to
get yourself to a desirable amount of Charm and Style without getting
your BAC so high as to make you start voting randomly. At that time,
the currency was "points." When we had Mackerel in later eras they
were sometimes our only scoring system.

Mixing the two is definitely not something B has tried, but I like it.
We just need a way to make booze relevant or otherwise use our
high-level mixed gnomes.
