Before the commencement of any game of Exoptosis, a player may raise the stakes by betting Chips, up to the number they have. Any bet chips are removed from their owner's inventory and added to a pool for that game. If at least one other player matches this bet, all players must either match or further raise the bet (then all players must match this new bet).
