遊戲裡管錢的那個人
遊戲裡那堆公用的錢，英文就叫 the bank；照著同一個邏輯，看著這堆錢的人自然就是 the banker。工作內容也一樣：發錢、收錢、付給贏的人。

People bring money in, people take money out, and this person keeps the pile, decides who gets how much, and pays out when it is time.

可以想成櫃檯另一邊的那個人：錢不是他的，但錢放在他那裡。有人把錢拿進來，有人把錢領出去，而他看著這一堆錢、決定誰拿多少、時間到了就付出去。只要有一堆集中的錢，加上一個看著它的人，英文就可以叫這個人 banker——不管那堆錢是一家銀行的資產，還是桌遊裡那疊紙鈔，這份工作的形狀是一樣的。From the picture
