Second Chance to get a second chance in 2016

Hi, I'm Doug Morris. It's been said everyone is entitled to a second chance. Well -- ABC is about to give a game show from the 1970s a second chance. After we ring in the new year, please join me for the excitement, the fun and the big payoffs of Second Chance.

Local announcer: Second Chance -- coming soon to ABC7.

Amazing, Doug! I bet that Warner Bros. Television remembers that short-lived game show.

So does Dot, the Warner sister.

For those wondering...

\ This would be the fifth game in my repertoire.

\ This version combines elements of SC and its two sequels.

\ I hope to have a rules page and a pilot up and running real soon.


Happy New Year, everybody.

Now on www.DougMorris.net/sc -- the rules sheet.

Subject to change post-pilot.

This looks positively splendid Doug!  I am going to check the rules now.  Dying to see what those question marks are all about!

Thanks, Bill, and Happy New Year.

Basically, those ? spaces act like the Chance spaces in Monopoly -- although nearly all those ? spaces will give some kind of nod to PYL ("add a one", money and an extra spin, etc.).

And a very happy new year to you too Doug!

I keep looking at your Second Chance board!  Truly mesmerizing!

Thanks, Bill. Wanted to stay as true to the original series as possible -- at least in regard to the traveling light.

Brian Sapinski, who hosted a net game version of PYL for ten years, posted SC's light pattern in this fan-made analysis of game boards for SC, PYL and W!:TANPYL.  Brian went on to note SC, eventually, had nine light patterns and even went through a Larson-esque incident.  Apparently, this winner's total was nowhere near $110,237. 

However, my game *will* be randomized. #LarsonProof
