While I wait for some more contestants for Disney Family Feud, I'm going to attempt to host a game of Jeopardy!. I'll be using the most recent board game version, released by Outset Media earlier this year. We all know how Jeopardy! works, so I won't go into detail. I'll need three players who would be interested in giving this a shot.

I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to Jeopardy!, but I'll give it a shot

If I may make a suggestion, Frankie. I would advise that you give the players a minimum of 24 hours to give their response once the clue is posted. If nobody responds within the time frame, then you reveal the correct response and move on.

Great idea Mark. I was thinking about doing that.

I concur. Although I usually have 48 hour deadlines for my games, 24 is reasonable for Jeopardy! I believe, with the exception perhaps of the next few days, with Christmas right around the corner  Welcome aboard Frankie! |

Alright we have our three players. So here is what I've decided to do. When I reveal the clue, the first person I see type "buzz" will get an opportunity to give me the correct response. I will give you twenty-four hours to give me your response. If you fail to do so, then we will let somebody else have a shot. If nobody responds in twenty-four hours then I will reveal the correct response. With that, let's begin!

That would have to be the Mario Party series. I also like Mario Kart, though

I just turned 50 years young last Monday, was 8 years old when Wheel of Fortune first debuted on NBC.
Been married over 25 years and we have one son who is a high school senior.
We live near Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. I have been gainfully employed for the past 17 plus years as a data entry clerk for a pharmaceutical research company.
In my spare time I enjoy watching retro television comedy and game shows, spending time with my one year old grand niece and writing.

The batter keeps his thumb on top & "catches" the ball with the bat to do this.

To play this position, a player uses gear somewhat unfairly called "the tools of ignorance".
