The Shop

The shop is a building located directly next to the alley to the black market.

The shop is initially locked, and can be unlocked when either:


 * The king buys the Unlock Shop upgrade.
 * Citizens pay a collective 100 gold.

Once the shop is opened, there are two currencies:


 * Bank Gold
 * Melon Coins

Unlock Shop
Unlock Shop is an upgrade that costs 10 coins and has no prerequisites.

It is an upgrade that can be bought by only the king, unlike the funding option which can be done by anybody. Purchasing this upgrade will not only open the shop, but will also transfer all existing funding into the gold bank automatically, as to not waste it.

Melon Coins
You can buy one Melon Coin for 64 melons.

Melon Coins are permanently saved for each player individually.

Bank Gold
You can trade one gold for one bank gold (Two if the Double City Funding upgrade is bought).

Bank Gold is global for all players, and players cannot convert it back into gold.

There are 13 total upgrades that can be bought with bank gold, costing a total of 5,016 gold, or 2,508 if Double City Funding were to be bought immediately.
