Thankfully I already had a 5 star snowman. And yes, it was 2000 last year, but inflation IS the correct word since they DID increase the number of available credits in game. Pirate previously had a cap of 100 credits for level 3, now you can earn several hundred for each game, plus keys which are wirth at least 100 credits every third game. Mansion is out and you can easily earn at least 150 credits per game, fireworks also has a better payout, and the music game is 25 credits as opposed to 10 previously (or was it 15?) - so inflation IS the correct term.
