Yahtzee! [NBC Primetime] S2E4: Archive!

[babytims]

Then it's yours!

*applause, clang*

"Square"...hmmm. Could be a big clue for you Nels. If you solve right now you'd have a 1-nothing lead. $7,500 in the pot but to keep control it's heads or tails. We'll flip a coin for you and roll the die and we'll see who gets control...

A tails. If you roll a 4, 5, or a 6...you keep control:

*buzz, audience groans* A deuce won't cut it, Nels. You lose control of the puzzle meaning we go back to George:

George...there's $7,500 that can be yours right now if you solve that puzzle, but if you elect not to you can run the board some more and try and put some more dough in the puzzle's bank. What's your call?

[bighornbattle]

Roll please.

[babytims]

(Coming tomorrow...life got a bit in the way and I can't update at the moment)

[babytims]

*audience cheers as...George rolls*

Aw man. If this was "Crag" you would've had it. The good news however, you're only one die away from a small straight. Plus, I failed to mention Yahtzee's are now worth $4,000 this match. 2 rolls remain, what say you, George?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[bighornbattle]

Keep the 1, 2, 3, and 5 please.

[babytims]

If you roll a 4...it'll be worth $3,000!

*audience cheers as...George rolls*

*audience groans* Well the good news is you have one more roll. You have nothing new so far, so I'll bet you want to roll over that 6, correct?

[bighornbattle]

Correct.

[babytims]

This is your last roll in this turn, so you need this to keep control:

*audience cheers as...George rolls*

*audience groans* And a 5 won't help you. So durn close. Well...you don't get anything with that, so thankfully Chance is still open, so you keep control:

*clang*

Down to the nitty-gritty now. The pot rocks $8,900...with 2 categories left on the board and 2 blanks to represent them. But before we handle any more puzzle business, you have to try to keep control. Let's flip that coin:

We see Mr. Washington's head...meaning you need a 1, 2, or 3 to stay in the running.

*audience cheers as...George rolls*

And it's another 3! This one's good however, because it means you keep control of the puzzle. With 2 categories left in the puzzle and $8,900 in the pot, George what'll it be? Rolling or passing?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[bighornbattle]

Can i solve it?

[babytims]

Sorry…I meant rolling or solving, you can’t pass.

Yes, you can solve if you think you know it!

[bighornbattle]

New York City.

[babytims]

Ooh, it could be! Is the answer New York City?

*dings, cheers*

It sure is! One of my favorite American cities, besides Los Angeles, of course

Paying attention in geography class gave you the first round, George. That's one round under your belt to start our match here, with plenty more game to go! We'll reset the board and give our players a break, and start our second round after this...where someone can win a fabulous prize! Hurry back, y'all!

*theme, cheers*

[babytims]

*HR 87 theme, cheers*

Is my hair ok? Good, because it's time we're back on the air for our second round of games. George won the first round, and he needs 2 more to force a win on his part, and Nels has yet to score. Now...round 2 adds a prize to the board that I hope you all will like. Take a look at the board, because the board's screen displays the prize!

And now we'll play this round the same way as the first. The pot is up to $8,900, and before Nels takes his first roll, since he's in second place, we'll show the board for round 2:

Ooh...this is a big puzzle! Good luck fellas, Nels give the dice a good roll!

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

Hey! It's a 3 of a kind right off the bat, Nels! Now...I want to reiterate that the Yahtzee jackpot is up to $4,000...so if you elect to hold the sixes and then roll 2 more, you win $4,000! What do you want to hold for roll 2?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[nelson21]

Keep the 6s

[babytims]

Figured as much. 

You have 2 more rolls to get through. Get another 2 6's and you win $4,000 in cash!

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

Ay ay ay, a one and a four. That won't help you yet...so if you would like, 3 of a kind is still on the table, or you can roll those 2 dice over. What do you wanna do?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[nelson21]

Roll again

[babytims]

(Roll what? The 1 and the 4?)

[nelson21]

Yes

[babytims]

Very well, one more rollover it seems. We're still looking for some big sixes for some big money for Nels!

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

*audience groans*

I quit.

*laughter*

I swear to you these dice aren't weighed. Nels you were so close, but that's 3 rolls. The most you can take is a 4 of a kind, but technically you can put it under 3 of a kind or even chance. What say you?

[nelson21]

Call me crazy I'll put it under chance

[babytims]

*Audience groans*

Hey now, hey may be crazy but you never know what might happen. $2,500 goes to chance:

*clang*

Putting Gordon Macrae on the board, can be a big clue. Nels you must do your roll-off to remain in control of these dice and knock some categories off of the board, but by the audience's reaction just now, I don't think they think you have a chance.

*scattered laughter*

But who cares what they think. Let's flip that coin and let's see where it lands...

It's tails, meaning a 4, 5, or a 6 will keep you in control of the board! Tread carefully...roll 'em!

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

*audience cheers* And there's your 6! You keep control of the board, now...

Only one category is gone, and 2 words are in the puzzle at this point. The hunt for the mystery category continues...but my question to you is...do you want to solve to tie up the match, or do you wanna keep rolling?

[nelson21]

Roll

[babytims]

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

And that's a small straight right there! You can bank that right now...or you can build on a pair of 3's Nels...what say you?

[nelson21]

Bank the small straight

[babytims]

The small straight's yours!

*applause, clang*

"Which is A". Not much help there...but you can stay in control if...you win the roll off! Give the coin a flip and let's see what you have to roll!

Heads. You have to roll anything less than a 4 to keep control of the dice.

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

*cheers* You keep control once again Nels! Now...

2 categories are gone, including the universal "insurance marker" of sorts. $13,900 rests in the pot, if you know it you can solve the puzzle and tie up the match, otherwise you can take another set of rolls...up to you though. What say you?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[nelson21]

Roll

[babytims]

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

Ooh, there's your small straight, but that's already gone. You also have a pair that can be used to build a 3, 4, or 5 of a kind...and you're one away from a large straight. What's your prerogative?

[nelson21]

Keep 2 3 4 and 5 roll the other 5

[babytims]

Rolling for a large straight now...let's hold your 4 dice...

Roll a 1 or a 6 and you win the large straight! You have 2 chances...

*audience cheers as...Nels rolls*

And there's a 3. I'm sure you want to reroll that, right?

[nelson21]

Yes
