📝 How to Play:
1️⃣ Players start with 5 gold coins.
2️⃣ They answer multiple-choice trivia questions about St. Patrick’s Day, Irish folklore, and leprechaun myths.
3️⃣ If they answer correctly, they choose to:
    •    Steal 2 gold coins from another player
    •    Bank their gold so it’s safe
4️⃣ If they answer incorrectly, they lose half of their unbanked gold (rounded down).
5️⃣ After three rounds, players face the Final Heist Bonus, where they choose to steal 3 more coins or bank their total before the winner is revealed!

The player with the most total gold at the end wins!
