Maybe it could be one of the options when setting up a new game, to be able to determine the amount of starting points and the bonus desired by the game creator?
BBW, I think that if the game will eventuALLY BECOME MORE INTERESTING LATER (BASED ON THE BONUS) tHEN WHY NOT MAKE IT A HIGHER BONUS TO STYART AND MAKE THE GAME MORE INTERESTING STRAIGHT AWAY? tHATS ALL...
