Snakes and Ladders - Pilot

[Deleted]

Very well - after purchasing a roll this will leave you with $550 on the scoreboard.

You have rolled a 4 placing you on square 17 which means you are playing our Higher/Lower side game!

You have $950 now Nels so for an additional $500 and a free roll, answer this question based on Google searches:

The term Hipster has an average of 673,000 searches per month.  Do you believe the Bayern Munich football club has higher or lower average monthly searches?

Lower

No, the Germans like their football so it seems - it was almost twice as many as Hipster.

You still have enough cash on hand to buy another roll if you like Nels or you can pass the dice to Raymond.

Roll

So purchasing the roll takes you down to $200.

You have rolled a 6 which puts you on square 23 which is our first Flag Game!

FLAG 1

FLAG 2

FLAG 3

There are 3 flags shown, each representing a country somewhere on Earth.  For $500 and a free roll Nels - choose any of the 3 flags and tell me which country it represents.  You get only one shot at it though so choose wisely.

1 Columbia

No in order those are the flags of Armenia, Grenada and the Maldives.

You have slightly more than enough money to buy another roll if you wish. Rolling snake eyes would allow you to play our True/False game. Rolling a 5 would send you up a ladder all the way to square 76.  Be careful though as rolling a 9 right now would slide you down that snake to square 10. Do you want to roll again or stay Nels?

[nelson21]

Stay

Both players with Double Dice and nobody has found a ladder or a snake yet meaning we have a close game so far folks - it is Nels with a 4-square lead and we will be back shortly with more Snakes and Ladders after these messages! - (fade to commercials)

(fade in)

We are back for more Snakes and Ladders and it remains anyone's game with our players just 4 squares apart.  Raymond, the dice are yours.  You have a chance at not one, but two ladders with this next roll as well as a couple of side game chances for additional free rolls.  Good luck sir, roll when ready please.

You rolled 10 - oh you just missed that long ladder up to square 76 by 1!

You lead now by 6 squares Raymond.  You have lots of cash to purchase more rolls or you can stay here if you like.

[basketball32]

I’ll roll again. *rolls the dice*

An 8 puts you on square 37 and oh boy, before you just missed a positive result by 1 square, this time you missed sliding all the way back down to 6 by one square as you just avoided that snake. You are on another Higher/Lower game square so a chance for another $500 and another roll.

What do you say here Raymond? Does Mr. Amazon have a higher or lower total of average monthly searches than the Mini Cooper does?

[basketball32]

I’ll say higher.

[Deleted]

Sorry I did not capture the screenshot fast enough but it was lower, he has only 822,000 monthly searches.

So your net gain was fifty bucks there Raymond - that last roll cost you $750 but you gained $800 for rolling that 8 - roll again or stay?

[basketball32]

I’ll roll one more time. *rolls the dice*

[Deleted]

Okay so the cost of this roll will take you down to $2,200.

It is a seven which moves you up to square 44.

You are almost halfway there now and you still have plenty of cash if you want to roll again.  A 4 this time would be bad but a 6 would send you up your first ladder.

Roll again or stay Raymond?

[basketball32]

I’ll stay.

[Deleted]

The dice are yours Nels.  Rolling a 5 would be wonderful right now - a 9 not so much.

[nelson21]

Roll

[Deleted]

A 10 and you have just missed a snake yourself!

It is odd that we have had all these rolls but so far no doubles. Nels you have plenty of money for another roll if you wish.  There is both a Higher/Lower and a True/False game within reach on this next roll but whatever you do, if you do roll, do not roll a 3.  Roll or stay Nels?

[nelson21]

Roll

[Deleted]

It is a 9 which brings you to within 2 of Raymond.

If you want to buy another roll Nels, a 6 would be bad but an 8 would be pretty good.  Stay or roll?

[nelson21]

Roll

[Deleted]

And look at that - you got the 8! Nels is the first to climb a ladder in our game!

So let's see, you were at $1,950 and the roll cost you $750, but you gained $800 for rolling an 8 plus a $1,000 bonus for the ladder.

You are up to $3,000 now plus you are two-thirds of the way there Nels. If you can roll a 4 on your next roll, you will be on the top row and poised to win the game. Stay or roll?

[nelson21]

Im gonna stay

[Deleted]

Interesting - I would have lost that bet as I thought you would continue on. Raymond the dice are yours - roll a 6 and you will be standing side-by-side with Nels.

[basketball32]

*rolls the dice*

[Deleted]

No you overshot the ladder by a bit with that roll.

We still have had no doubles yet so it will cost you to roll again Raymond - avoid that very long snake sitting 10 squares away if you roll again - stay or roll?
