What happens during final scoring if a player can't pay their capital chips?
The rulebook's wording supports minus points, but how many points each missing chip costs comes from forum replies.

The shortfall is settled as minus points rather than paid later. The receiver still takes the matching chip from the bank, and the payer counts each missing chip as -1 at final scoring. One reply says no penalty applies, but the rulebook's 'plus and minus points' wording supports the minus-point reading.
