Not sure if there are still people reading this who don't want to get spoiled, but I'll put my post in tags just to be sure...[o]I think there is indeed a good possibility of the pack never getting opened. You can directly influence the amount of coins on cards if you held on and with the winner reward with which you can destroy territory cards. On top held-on bonuses are no longer allowed after game 15. So if no territory that meets the conditions is ever created...
If someone wants to delay the package (I did) or wants to prevent it from ever being opened (but honestly, who would want to?) there are very good options to do so and thus I can understand the pack being opened late or even never at all. Theoretically that would make the chances of the pack being opened (quick) small. It would surprise me though if there is even one entire game groupe out there that wouldn't mind never opening one of the packets. I expect that in every group at least one player will want to open packets, sooner rather than later, thus chances will probably be pushed toward it being more likely the pack is opened as soon as possible and more unlikely that it will never be opened at all.[/o]
