And it's over! Danny wins the round!

DRAW PILE: 85

LAST CARD PLAYED: [[WILD Draw Color]]

*DANNY* <----- PATRICK <----- MATT

251 <----- 300 <----- 640

$9200 <----- $100 <----- $5150

(Dings; Audience Cheers and Applause)

And Matt, this is going to hurt you, because there's nothing you could've done to challenge Danny on this one. Danny, to make this official, which color would you like to set?

[gameshowfandanny]

I’ll choose pink.

[dad90]

DK: OK, pink it is.

In fact, let's go to Matt's hand first. Remember, we're scoring on the Dark side, so this is going to be a big payday for Danny. Let's see how much...

First, Matt's hand.

MATT'S HAND:

[[9]] [[9]] [[WILD Draw Color]] [[6]]

(Audience Gasps)

Oh, and Matt had a WILD Draw Color card! You know what that means, but first, we must draw the deck, one card at a time, until Matt gets a pink card, so here we go.

[[+5]]

And Matt got off lucky as a pink card was the very next card drawn off from the top of the deck. However, that's a Draw 5 card, which is good for 40 Points, the numbers are doubled for 48 Points, and the Wild Draw Color is the maximum value of a big 120 points!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

And that's not all! In the Dark Side, the dollar amounts have been doubled, so that means that for the numbers, that $4,800 in cash, and the Draw Five card will give you a nice prize! What is it, Shadoe?



Shadoe: Congratulations, Danny. You've won a Dinette set!



From Home Furniture comes this classic style 5-piece dinette set perfect for the breakfast nook or kitchen, from Home Furniture of St. Jacob's! It's a prize valued at $750!

(Audience Applause)

DK: But the most exciting part of all is that Matt got a Wild Draw Color card, which means that you've won this!



Shadoe: That's right, Danny. You've just won a NEW CAR!



(Audience Cheers and Applause)

It’s a Chevy Impala LT! This basic model of Chevrolet’s flagship car comes loaded with all of the standard features you can hope for, including a 6 speed automatic transmission, an XM satellite radio, available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi® and standard Chevrolet Infotainment System with an 8-inch diagonal touch-screen display that lets you send and receive texts hands-free, play music and more. And with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™† compatibility, your Impala can take on a familiar face. It’s a Chevy Impala! This car is valued at $31,620!!!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

DK: Thanks, Shadoe! And this is just from Matt's hand! And by the way, here's what the other side of Matt's cards looked like...

[5] <----> [[9]]
[4] <----> [[9]]
[6] <----> [[WILD Draw Color]]
[FLIP] <----> [[6]]
[4] <----> [[+5]]

And there they were. So far, you have accumulated 208 points and $37,170 in cash and prizes! Now, let's look at Patrick's hand.

PATRICK'S HAND:

[[4]] [[7]] [[FLIP]] [[8]] [[1]] [[WILD]]

OK, so for the numbers, that's 40 points, a Flip card for another 40 points, and a WILD card for 80 points, so that's another 160 points!

(Audience Applause)

That also means that you've won another $4,000 in cash, and the WILD card wins you this fabulous prize....



Shadoe: It's a relaxing steam shower.



(Audience Applause)

Enjoy a luxurious sauna experience at home with this state-of-the-art steam shower, which includes shatterproof glass, overhead lighting and AM/FM/CD stereo for your listening pleasure. It's a luxurious prize valued at $2,650!

(Audience Applause)

DK: And here's what the other side of Patrick's cards looked like...

[9] <----> [[4]]
[3] <----> [[7]]
[REVERSE] <----> [[FLIP]]
[3] <----> [[8]]
[+1] <----> [[1]]
[REVERSE] <----> [[WILD]]

And there they were. So from Patrick's hand, you've won 160 points and $6,650 in cash and prizes, and when the calculations are all said and done, your total for this round is 368 points and $46,570 in cash and prizes!

DANNY <----- PATRICK <----- MATT

619 <----- 300 <----- 640

$55,770 <----- $100 <----- $5150

(Applause, Ding)

And that brings up to the end of the UNO Flip-Out Knockout round, we see that Danny has 619 points and $55,770; Patrick has 300 points and $100; and Matt has 640 points and $5,150. We are looking for the player with the most amount of points and the player with the most amount of money to head to the Championship Round, and they are going to be Danny (with $55,770) and Matt (with 640 points)! Congratulations on you two making it to the Final Round!

DANNY <----- PATRICK -----> MATT

619 <----- 300 -----> 640

$55,770 <----- $500 -----> $5150

(Winning Bell SFX; Win Cue; Cheers and Applause)

Which means that unfortunately for you Patrick, it's the end of the line. However, you're certainly not leaving here empty-handed. We're going to bump you up to $500, and you're also leaving here with some nice parting gifts that we have for you backstage. Let's give it up for Patrick Huynh, everyone!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Now Danny, for winning our UNO Flip-Out Knockout round...

...you will get to choose one of the remaining 5 cards that'll help you crack The Champion's Mastercode should you become tonight's champion, but that's not all. You've also earned a special advantage in the Final Round. Look at your PM to see how.



Now, we've got some words from our sponsors, and when we come back from this commercial break, either Danny or Matt will reign victory and will be going to hopefully crack the Champion's Mastercode, and then head to the Bonus Bonanza where he could be climbing the Power Pyramid for a chance to win the Grand Progressive Jackpot of $1,400,000!

But before they could do all of that, there's one more round that stands in their way, and that's the UNO Wild Jackpot Card Championship Round! The Final Round will decide it all when we return to Uno: The Game Show!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

[dad90]

[dad90]

(Cheers and Applause)

DANNY <-----> MATT

619 <-----> 640

$55,770 <-----> $5150

DK: And welcome back to Uno: The Game Show! Danny and Matt, you've made it this far, and now, only this final round stands between you, the Champion's Mastercode and the Bonus Bonanza, which includes the Power Pyramid for a chance to win the Grand Progressive Jackpot of $1,400,000!

(Cheers and Applause)

But since that there's a lot to play for, I want to let you know right now, that for making it to the Final Round, both of you are guaranteed to win at least 1 prize by the end of this segment, but you can win a lot more and possibly the championship as we're ready to play our Final Round, the UNO Wild Jackpot Card Championship Round!





In this Final Round, we got a special Wild Jackpot slot machine filled with all sorts of special cards and wild cards. And speaking of Wild Cards, in this particular deck, which has been shuffled and cut by a third party by the way, we have 2 regular Wild cards, 16 Jackpot cards, and 2 Wild Jackpot cards, but it's the number of Wild Draw Four cards that are determined by our producers during the commercial break. We know that there's going to be at least 2 Wild Draw Four cards, but no more than 4.

And tonight, we're going to have all 4 Wild Draw Four cards, meaning that the entire deck of 108 cards will be used in this Final Round. Now this time, 6 cards from the deck were being distributed by Lasercorn and Jovenshire during the break, and they are going to be the ones to monitor them, while Mari controls the Wild Jackpot slot machine and Ian will be on standby in a matter of moments as he will present a special card to both of our players to complete their starting hand.

We're now going to kick things up into high gear as we have some extra special rules in this round, but first...

...how about I Triple the points?!

(Cheers and Applause)

SCORING:

1-6 = 3-18 Points
8-9 = 24-27 Points
Skip = 60 Points
Reverse = 60 Points
Draw +2 = 60 Points
Jackpot = 120 Points
Wild / Wild Jackpot / Wild Draw Four = 150 Points
Custom Cards / Wild = 75 Points

PRIZES:

1-6; 8-9 = $100-$600; $800-$900 Cash
Skip, Reverse, Draw +2 = PRIZE
Jackpot = PRIZE MACHINE
Custom Cards / Wild = TRIP
Wild / Wild Draw Four = LUXURY PRIZE/CAR
Wild Jackpot = BIG PRIZE MACHINE

There you can see the many possibilities for the winning player in this round, and Natural Wild cards offer a luxury prize or a luxury car, so make sure that you play those Wild cards wisely.

Also, in the event that time runs out in this round, the player who has the least amount of cards in their hand will be awarded a big 500 points, and then we'll do the adjusting based on the hands that they got, but beware. This time, it's going to pure subtraction!

Let's also take one last look at the Big Bucks board on my podium, shall we?

CLEAN SWEEP BONUS: $2500
ALL ROUNDS CLEARED JACKPOT: $15,000

(Bell Clangs)

The Clean Sweep Bonus has been reset back to $2500, while the All Rounds Cleared Jackpot goes up to $15,000!

(Cheers and Applause)

Now, since this is our Final Round, we're going to turn up the heat a little bit. Now, if you play either a Reverse Card, or a Skip Card, or even a Draw Card, the turn comes back over to you, giving you a better chance to discard your entire hand. Also, the 7-0 Rule is now in play, which means that anytime you play a 7, and you will swap hands with your opponent.

(Audience Oohs)

But if you play a 0, your opponent must withdraw the number of cards from their hand, place them in the bottom of the deck, and pull out the same number of cards your opponent had from the top of the deck to make his new hand. Those cards can either help you or hurt you of winning this final round.

(Audience Oohs)

In fact, the 0s and the 7s are both a blessing and a curse. Take a look at the scoring system, and you'll see why...

SCORING:

0 = 300 POINTS!
1-6 = 3-18 Points
7 = -77, -177, or -277 Points
8-9 = 24-27 Points
Skip = 60 Points
Reverse = 60 Points
Draw +2 = 60 Points
Jackpot = 120 Points
Wild / Wild Jackpot / Wild Draw Four = 150 Points
Custom Cards / Wild = 75 Points

PRIZES:

0 = LOSE HALF OF YOUR CASH!
1-6 = $100-$600 Cash
7 = $7,777 CASH!
8-9 = $800-$900 Cash
Skip, Reverse, Draw +2 = PRIZE
Jackpot = PRIZE MACHINE
Custom Cards / Wild = TRIP
Wild / Wild Draw Four = LUXURY PRIZE/CAR
Wild Jackpot = BIG PRIZE MACHINE

A 0 will award you 300 Points, BUT you will lose HALF of your cash in the process, and as for the 7, you will lose anywhere between -77 to -277 Points, but you will be awarded with $7,777 in cash!

(Audience Oohs)

And when all's said and done, whoever has the most points at the end of this round will be declared the champion, but if there's a tie, then the player who has the most money wins.

However, with the scores so close with a difference of 21 points, ANYTHING can happen and ANYONE can still win!

And to make things even more sweeter now, whoever becomes the champion will now receive a special prize! Shadoe, what is it?





Shadoe: Tonight's champion will win a trip to New York City!

(Cheers and Applause)

You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Miami to New York City for a six-night stay at the Manhattan Grand Hotel. Includes daily continental breakfast, and it's within easy distance of Broadway, Central Park, the Empire State Building, and many of the Big Apple's other fine attractions. Daily continental breakfast and room service are included in this trip valued at $6,438!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

DK: And that's just the beginning with much more to win after that. Now here comes Ian with that special card to complete your starting hand...

[DEFLECT]

This is a Deflect card, which also acts like a Wild card. What this card does is that it negates the effects of wildcards if targeted and chosen to. It'll be discarded upon use.

With that, each player now has their 7-card starting hand, but as you know, we cannot start the round without going through a Headstart portion of the round. And since that this is our final Headstart portion of the game, this time, there are now SEVEN questions for you to answer instead of 4, including a Toss-Up question for control of the cards. Now, there are 4 possible answers with the last 2 being "All of the Above" and "None of the Above".

Also, to make things even more interesting, the tables have turned. If you answer the question correctly this time, not only will you earn $500, but you will discard 1 card from your hand and put it in the bottom of the deck, but if you get the question wrong, and you will have to add 2 cards from the top of the deck, which means that you can start the round with as little as 1 card, aka UNO!, or as much as 19 cards.

(Audience Oohs)

With all that said, I wish you both the very best of luck and here are the answers for the first question in the Wild Jackpot Card Championship Round...

Charles Duke
Alan Bean
All of the Above
None of the Above

And here comes the question.

Which of the following are people who have walked on the Moon?

Danny: 1
Matt: 40

Magic #: 76

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

None of the Above?

[dad90]

That is wrong, I'm afraid.

Charles Duke
Alan Bean
All of the Above
None of the Above

Danny, it's yours for the taking.

(Buzz-In!)

And Danny buzzes in! What's your answer?

[gameshowfandanny]

All of the Above.

[dad90]

All of the Above is right!

Charles Duke
Alan Bean
All of the Above
None of the Above

(Audience Applause)

In April 1966, Charles Duke was one of nineteen men selected for NASA's fifth group of astronauts. In 1969, he was a member of the astronaut support crew for Apollo 10. He served as CAPCOM for Apollo 11, the first crewed landing on the Moon.

Alan Bean was an American naval officer and aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut; he was the fourth person to walk on the Moon. He was selected to become an astronaut by NASA in 1963 as part of Astronaut Group 3. He made his first flight into space aboard Apollo 12, the second crewed mission to land on the Moon, at age 37 in November 1969.

Danny, you're going to discard 1 card from your hand and put it in the bottom of the deck while Matt adds 2 cards from the top of the deck and into his hand.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 6
MATT: 9

Now let's jump in to the next question which goes as follows...

A Game of Thrones
The Color Purple
All of the Above
None of the Above

Which of the following are books written in First Person?

Danny: 6
Matt: 70

Magic #: 54

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

The Color Purple

[dad90]

The Color Purple is correct!

A Game of Thrones
The Color Purple
All of the Above
None of the Above

(Audience Applause)

The Color Purple is a 1982 epistolary novel by American author Alice Walker which won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction. It was later adapted into a film and musical of the same name.

Taking place mostly in rural Georgia, the story focuses on the life of African-American women in the Southern United States in the 1930s, addressing numerous issues including their exceedingly low position in American social culture. The novel has been the frequent target of censors and appears on the American Library Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2000–2009 at number seventeen because of the sometimes explicit content, particularly in terms of violence. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novels."

With this, the Clean Sweep Bonus will increase as Matt discards 1 card from his hand and puts it in the bottom of the deck.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 6
MATT: 8

Here comes the next question.

Watchmen
Edge of Tomorrow
All of the Above
None of the Above

Which of the following are movies based on comic books?

Danny: 10
Matt: 81

Magic #: 15

(Buzz-In!)

And Danny buzzes in! What's your answer?

[gameshowfandanny]

None of the Above.

[dad90]

And you are wrong on that, I'm afraid.

Watchmen
Edge of Tomorrow
All of the Above
None of the Above

Matt, want to take a shot at it?

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Watchmen

[dad90]

Believe it or not, you're wrong as well. It's All of the Above.

Watchmen
Edge of Tomorrow
All of the Above
None of the Above

And here's why.

The Edge of Tomorrow is based off of the Japanese light novel series, "All You Need Is Kill." The original novel, written by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and illustrated by Yoshi-toshi ABe, was first published by Shueisha under its Super Dash Bunko imprint on December 18, 2004. A republished version was released on June 19, 2014. Haikasoru released an English-language translation trade paperback of the novel as "All You Need Is Kill". Sakurazaka was inspired by an online account written by a video game player, where comments on how restarting the game after the playable character's death allowed for trial and error improvement made the writer conceive a story where a hero wound up "being played over and over". Prior to writing, Sakurazaka consulted other time loop-based fiction such as the film Groundhog Day. Viz Media re-released the novel in North America under the title Edge of Tomorrow as a Graphic Novel / Manga series, which falls under the "Comics" category, on April 29, 2014.

Watchmen is a no-brainer as its an American comic book maxiseries by the British creative team of writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons and colorist John Higgins. It was published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987, and collected in a single volume edition in 1987. Watchmen originated from a story proposal Moore submitted to DC featuring superhero characters that the company had acquired from Charlton Comics.

That was indeed a tricky question, but I've looked at both of them myself and verified them, and here's the proof for the All You Need Is Kill as a Graphic Novel / Manga series.

(All You Need is Kill – The Graphic Novel)

That being said, Matt, both you and Danny will get 2 additional cards from the top of the deck and into your hand.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 8
MATT: 10

Let's see if you can redeem yourself with this question.

Twin It to Win It
Passport to Paris
All of the Above
None of the Above

Which of the following are movies featuring the Olsen Twins?

Danny: 26
Matt: 19

Magic #: 40

(Buzz-In!)

And Danny buzzes in! What's your answer?

[gameshowfandanny]

All of the Above again?

[dad90]

And again, you're wrong.

Twin It to Win It
Passport to Paris
All of the Above
None of the Above

Matt, a chance to steal.

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Passport to Paris

[dad90]

Passport to Paris is right!

Twin It to Win It
Passport to Paris
All of the Above
None of the Above

(Audience Applause)

Passport to Paris is a 1999 direct-to-video film starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who also serve as the film's executive producers. It is the first of seven direct-to-video films produced by Tapestry Films to star the Olsens.

Matt, you'll get to discard 1 card from your hand and put that in the bottom of the deck, while Danny adds 2 more cards from the top of the deck and into his hand.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 10
MATT: 9

And let's move right along to the next question.

Casper the Friendly Ghost
Marie Antoinette
All of the Above
None of the Above

Which of the following have died by beheading?

Danny: 30
Matt: 90

Magic #: 53

(Buzz-In!)

And Danny buzzes in! What's your answer?

[gameshowfandanny]

Casper the Friendly Ghost.

[dad90]

I honestly don't think that Casper was beheaded...

In fact, he didn't.

Casper the Friendly Ghost
Marie Antoinette
All of the Above
None of the Above

Matt, do you want to try it?

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Marie Antoinette

[dad90]

Thank you so much Matt for getting it right.

Casper the Friendly Ghost
Marie Antoinette
All of the Above
None of the Above

(Audience Applause)

Marie Antoinette (/ˌæntwəˈnɛt, ˌɒ̃t-/, French: [maʁi ɑ̃twanɛt]; born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna; 2 November 1755 – 16 October 1793) was the last Queen of France before the French Revolution. She was born an Archduchess of Austria and was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor. She became Dauphine of France in May 1770 at age 14 upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir apparent to the French throne. On May 10th, 1774, her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI and she assumed the title Queen of France and Navarre, which she held until September 1791, when she became Queen of the French, as the French Revolution proceeded, a title that she held until September 21st, 1792.

After eight years of marriage, Marie Antoinette gave birth to Marie Thérèse, the first of her four children. A growing percentage of the population came to dislike her, with the French libelles accusing her of being profligate, promiscuous, harboring sympathies for France's perceived enemies—particularly her native Austria—and her children of being illegitimate. The false accusations of the Affair of the Diamond Necklace damaged her reputation further. During the Revolution, she became known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker.

Several events were linked to Marie Antoinette during the Revolution after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace in October 1789. The June 1791 attempted flight to Varennes and her role in the War of the First Coalition had disastrous effects on French popular opinion. On August 10th, 1792, the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly, and they were imprisoned in the Temple Prison on the 13th of August. On September 21st, 1792, the monarchy was abolished. Louis XVI was executed on January 21st, 1793. Marie Antoinette's trial began on October 14th, 1793, and two days later she was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed by guillotine on the Place de la Révolution.

Matt, you'll get to discard 1 card from your hand and put it in the bottom of the deck, while Danny, yet again, adds 2 more cards from the top of the deck and into his hand.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 12
MATT: 8

Danny, you're heading in the wrong direction, but you've got one last chance to get rid of 1 card from your hand. The same can be said for Matt, except that he's heading in the right direction. Either way, this is the next-to-last Headstart question, and this can really help you get closer to getting rid of your hand; not to mention that you're going to get some cash as well. Tense up, because here it comes.

Saul the Lesser
Abraham
All of the Above
None of the Above

Which of the following are part of the 12 Apostles?

Danny: 100
Matt: 87

Magic #: 91

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

Saul the Lesser?

[dad90]

And I'm afraid that you're wrong.

Saul the Lesser
Abraham
All of the Above
None of the Above

Danny, you want this?

(Buzz-In!)

And Danny buzzes in! What's your answer?

[gameshowfandanny]

Abraham?

[dad90]

For the fourth time in a row, you're incorrect on that one. This time around, it's None of the Above.

Saul the Lesser
Abraham
All of the Above
None of the Above

You see, Saul (/sɔːl/; Hebrew: שָׁאוּל – Šāʾūl, Greek: Σαούλ, meaning "asked for, prayed for"), according to the Hebrew Bible, was the first king of the United Kingdom of Israel (Israel and Judah). His reign, traditionally placed in the late 11th century BCE, supposedly marked a transition from a tribal society to statehood.

Saul's life and reign are described in the Hebrew Bible. He was anointed by the prophet Samuel and reigned from Gibeah. He fell on his sword (committing suicide) to avoid capture in the battle against the Philistines at Mount Gilboa, during which three of his sons were also killed. The succession to his throne was contested by Ish-bosheth, his only surviving son, and his son-in-law David, who eventually prevailed. According to the Hebrew text of the Bible Saul reigned for forty two years, but scholars generally agree that the text is faulty and that a reign of twenty or twenty-two years is more probable.

Abraham (né Abram) is the common patriarch of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and some other religions. In Judaism, he is the founding father of the covenant of the pieces, the special relationship between the Hebrews and God; in Christianity, he is the prototype of all believers, Jewish or Gentile; and in Islam he is seen as a link in the chain of prophets that begins with Adam and culminates in Muhammad.

The narrative in the Book of Genesis revolves around the themes of posterity and land. Abraham is called by God to leave the house of his father Terah and settle in the land originally given to Canaan but which God now promises to Abraham and his progeny. Various candidates are put forward who might inherit the land after Abraham; and, while promises are made to Ishmael about founding a great nation, Isaac, Abraham's son by his half-sister Sarah, inherits God's promises to Abraham. Abraham purchases a tomb (the Cave of the Patriarchs) at Hebron to be Sarah's grave, thus establishing his right to the land; and, in the second generation, his heir Isaac is married to a woman from his own kin, thus ruling the Canaanites out of any inheritance. Abraham later marries Keturah and has six more sons; but, on his death, when he is buried beside Sarah, it is Isaac who receives "all Abraham's goods", while the other sons receive only "gifts" (Genesis 25:5–8).

Therefore Danny, both you and Matt will get to add 2 cards from the top of the deck and into your hand, and that ends the Headstart portion of the round, and by far on this show, the most abysmal one yet.

CARDS TOTAL:

DANNY: 14
MATT: 10

Danny has doubled his card count to 14 cards, but has managed to bank in $500, while Matt has 10 cards and banked $1500, and with 24 cards out there, excluding the 2 Deflect cards, there are now...

DANNY <-----> MATT

619 <-----> 640

$56,270 <-----> $6650

DRAW PILE: 86

LAST CARD PLAYED: [-----]

86 cards left in the deck. With this many cards out there, this is going to be of what I believe to be a gruesome battle, but with strategy, knowledge and luck, you could win this round AND the game! And there's one important element that's going to determine the fate of our players...

And that's the lucky UNO Wild Jackpot Slot Machine!

This machine is a little bit different than normal slot machines, because instead of paying off cash and coins, it awards cards and a bunch of surprises! Now in order to spin the slot machine, which Mari will do, you will need to play one of these two cards...

...and they are the Jackpot Card and the Wild Jackpot Card. A regular Jackpot card may only be played on a matching color or on another Jackpot card. The Wild Jackpot card can be played ON ANY TURN, even if you have another playable card in your hand.

There's a possibility that one of these cards may come up first, and should that be the case, than the one who has control of the cards will then get to determine who gets the first customized card from the machine, and if it's a Wild Jackpot card, and the one who has control of the cards will get to determine the color to start play.

And speaking for control of the cards, here comes the final Headstart question to determine who gets control. Here are the answers.

Acute
Straight
All of the Above
None of the Above

And the question is this...

Which of the following are Geometric Angles?

Danny: 60
Matt: 87

Magic #: 92

(Buzz-In!)

And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer?

[mringgenberg]

All of the Above?

All of the Above...is right!

Euclid defines a plane angle as the inclination to each other, in a plane, of two lines which meet each other, and do not lie straight with respect to each other. According to Proclus an angle must be either a quality or a quantity, or a relationship. The first concept was used by Eudemus, who regarded an angle as a deviation from a straight line; the second by Carpus of Antioch, who regarded it as the interval or space between the intersecting lines; Euclid adopted the third concept, although his definitions of right, acute, and obtuse angles are certainly quantitative.

Also, thank goodness that I still know Math, and I'm proud of it. Now then Matt, as you have answered that question right, you'll have an important decision to make, but first, let me explain on what we have inside the Wild Jackpot Slot Machine.

Now...

On the Wild Jackpot Slot Machine, you'll discover these various possibilities. So...



If this pops up, you can choose any player, including yourself to get either a custom card or a custom Wild card.



If this pops up, the player on the right gets a card from the machine, and in this case, it's Matt.



If this pops up, the player on the left gets a card from the machine, and in this case, it's Danny.



If this pops up, BOTH players get a card from the machine, starting from the player who played a Jackpot card.



Now if this pops up, this could actually help you with your main goal of getting rid of all of your cards. This one will allow to discard UP TO one card of EACH COLOR in your hand to the LAST CARD PLAYED pile. You can play the cards in any order you like. If any of the cards you play are action cards, each one will affect the next player.

However, we've added a little more variety into the machine as we've taken a page out of the Nick Arcade handbook. This machine also contains the 4 P's...

[POINTS]
[PUZZLES]
[POP QUIZZES]
[PRIZES]

...Points, Puzzles, Pop Quizzes and Prizes.

However players, do be careful, because we also have this...



I don't have to tell you on what this one does, right? However, to the ones who have just tuned in, I'll explain. If this one pops up, you'll automatically draw 4 cards from the Draw Pile, and you will LOSE your turn in the process.

Now, all questions in this final round are worth 75 points, while puzzles vary from 75 to 225 points.

We have lots and lots of cards inside the machine, and I think it's high-time that we need to find out what's inside the machine tonight.

I know for sure that we'll always have these cards inside the machine every time we play this final round...

* 3 Deflect Cards - Explained Earlier
* 3 Pass 1 Card - Give away 1 card to your opponent
* 1 Pass 2 Cards - Give away 2 cards to your opponent
* 3 Skip Cards - Self-Explanatory
* 3 Reverse Cards - Self-Explanatory
* 3 Shuffle Cards - The entire Draw Pile will then be shuffled
* 3 Bandit Cards - A Bandit will steal cash and/or points from your opponent
* 3 Swap Cards - The top card and the bottom card from the Draw Pile will be swapped
* 3 Sneak Peek Cards - Only you will get to see the top 3 cards from the Draw Pile
* 3 Jammer Cards - The player chooses one of the opponent's cards at random. The opponent's selected card is 'jammed', and cannot be played for that next turn
* 2 Black Hole * Cards - All cards in all hands are shuffled into a pile and then dealt to each person with the same number they had before.

Now during the commercial break, Danny has been given an advantage to choose 8 more customizable cards and put them into the machine, and only he knows the details of those cards. The 8 cards he chose are...

Assassinate
Discard Color
Steal turn *
Poison
High Roller *
King's decree *
Queen's decree *
Purity

The ones with a star are customized Wild cards. And then finally, a producer chosen at random has placed 2 more special cards that both of our players don't know, and they are...

Balanced
Revelation

The details will be revealed once that player draws that card.

So all in all, that's a total of 40 cards that will always be loaded into Wild Jackpot Slot Machine. Other than that, this is played just like in Classic UNO.

Now with all that explained, we go back over to Matt, who now has a big decision to make. Would you like to go first, or would you like Danny to go first?

Don't answer that question yet, because there's one more thing that I almost forgot to tell you...

SCORING:

0 = 300 POINTS!
1-6 = 3-18 Points
7 = -77, -177, or -277 Points
8-9 = 24-27 Points
Skip = 60 Points
Reverse = 60 Points
Draw +2 = 60 Points
Jackpot = 120 Points
Wild / Wild Jackpot / Wild Draw Four = 150 Points
Custom Cards / Wild = 75 Points
** Wild Draw Four Out The Gate = -50 Points (EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!)
** High Hand = -20 Points (EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!)

Whoever decides to go first should now approach with extreme caution: If a Wild Draw Four card comes out as the first card, not only you'll automatically lose 50 points, but you also must draw 4 cards from the top of the deck immediately! Not to mention that your opponent will get to choose a color to start play and will get to go first.

(Audience Oohs)

And if that happens, then at the end of the round, whoever has more cards than their opponent will lose 20 points immediately!

(Louder Oohs)

And sometimes, those 2 events may determine the winner of the entire game, so in this final round, every point (and dollar) counts!

So Matt, I now await your decision.

[mringgenberg]

I would like to go first.
