The good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Market Board isn't a gil drain, its Gil being transfer from one player to another. Gil drain I am referring to is to buy something and the gil is gone. I agree not everyone is about housing, and I still learning a lot about this game. I may not have seen the other gil drains, but I feel from what I have seen there should be something.

I feel the game could use more gil sinks too. If Housing was more widely available I might not feel the same way and would probably say "it's fine", but here we are.

It does have the tax and delivery fee, which are gil drains. A majority of it is transferred though.

As someone mentioned, it's really difficult, maybe impossible to design a gil sink that works for all players. It would need to be expensive enough to drain gil from the richest players, desirable enough for them to want to buy it, consumable so they need to buy it repeatedly, yet at the same time unimportant enough that the players who can afford it only occasionally or not at all won't be disadvantaged without it. It's pretty much guaranteed that there will be some rich players who are just not interested in the gil sink, unless it comes in the form of an outright tax which takes away part of their money every month.
