And you got yourself an insurance marker.

Let's take down the 7 and 3:
5 6
2 4 8

Let's go to our next question:

No. Believe it or not, it's actually potatoes. Control goes to Kevin. All rolls are good, so roll away.
(Kevin: To roll the dice, click the purple reply button. You'll find a dice icon. Click it twice, then click Create Post.)

A double! Here's an insurance marker for you Kevin.
*I hand Kevin an insurance marker*
Only one way to clear the 2. So the 2 comes down.
5 X 6
X 4 8
1 9 X
A roll of a 6 will earn someone that board game collection. Here's the next question:
According to the Guiness Book of Records, the most money ever paid to a film actor was the $50-$60 million that Jack Nicholson earned playing which unusual character in the 1989 Tim Burton film Batman?

Okay Kevin. The bad rolls are 2, 3, 10, and 12. Remember you have an insurance marker in case you mess up. Roll the dice or pass?

The good news is you have another insurance marker. But the bad news is 12 is a bad roll. You still have 1 more insurance marker. Try it again.
