Years ago, me and Alan Mitsugi created this game. Me and Alan literally threw it together in 10 minutes. It turned out to be one of Alan's most popular games. I have been trying to figure out how to bring this game to Net Game Central, and am willing to beta test the game for all of you for possible inclusion in the original games section. Similar to Second Chance. I need three players and the rules are down below. Just reply if you want to try :-)
NAME: PICK OR CHANGE
PLAYERS: THREE
OBJECTIVE: TO HAVE THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF CASH AFTER TWO ROUNDS OF PLAY
GAME SET-UP: PICK OR CHANGE IS PLAYED ON A GAMEBOARD OF 144 SQUARES

BEHIND EACH OF THESE SQUARES IS EITHER CASH, EFFECT SQUARES, NEGETIVE AMOUNTS, OR THE DREADDED GOOSE EGG. A TYPICAL ROUND ONE BOARD MIGHT LOOK LIKE THIS.....

$-1000 $0 $1100 $800 $2250 GOOSE EGG $-1250 2x Take ONE $750 3x $-400
THE PLAYER IN CONTROL WILL "PICK" A SQUARE AND ITS CONTENTS ARE REVEALED. THE PLAYER MAY NOW "BANK" THE CONTENTS OF THE SQUARE, AND ADD ITS VALUE TO THEIR SCORE, OR "CHANGE" TO ONE OF THE REMAINING SQUARES ON THE BOARD. IF THE PLAYER CHOOSES "CHANGE" THEY MUST TAKE THE EFFECTS OF THE NEXT SQUARE (NO MATTER IF THE EFFECT IS GOOD OR BAD TO THEIR SCORE).
THE "GOOSE EGG" SERVES THE SAME PURPOSE AS THE WHAMMY OR DEVIL. YOUR SCORE IS RESET BACK TO ZERO.
THE EFFECT SQUARES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2X- TWO TIMES THE VALUE OF YOUR NEXT PICK (IF CHOSEN WITH THE 3X, THE NEXT PICK IS FIVE TIMES THE VALUE, GOOD OR BAD)
3X - SAME AS ABOVE ONLY THREE TIMES THE VALUE OF YOUR NEXT PICK
DIST $500 - ALL PLAYERS RECEIVE $500
DIST -$500 - ALL PLAYERS LOSE $500
SWAP - THE PLAYER IN CONTROL MUST SWAP THEIR CURRENT SCORE WITH THAT OF ONE OF THEIR OPPONENTS
THIRD CALL - THE PLAYER MAY "CHANGE" TO A THIRD SQUARE IF THEY SO WISH
BIG BANK - ALL MONEY LOST FROM "BANKING" A GOOSE EGG IS PUT INTO THIS PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT. "BANKING" THIS SQUARE, WINS THE CURRENT JACKPOT VALUE.
$$$$+FP - THE PLAYER EARNS A FREE PICK
GIVE ONE - PLAYER SELECTS TWO SQUARES, PLAYER IN CONTROL KEEPS ONE, AND GIVE THE OTHER (GOOD OR BAD) TO THE OPPONENT OF THEIR CHOICE.
TAKE ONE - PLAYER IN CONTROL MAY SELECT ANY AMOUNT ONE OF THEIR OPPONENTS HAVE "BANKED" AND ADD IT TO THEIR SCORE. THE "TAKEN" AMOUNT IS SUBTRACTED FROM THE AFFECTED PLAYER
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CONTESTANT THAT GETS TO MAKE THE VERY FIRST "PICK" OF THE GAMEBAORD IS DETERMINED BY RANDOM.ORG (OR THE RETURNING CHAMPION MAKES THE FIRST "PICK") AFTER THAT, PICKS ALTERNATE FROM THE PLAYER IN THIRD PLACE TO THE PLAYER IN FIRST PLACE. THIS PROCESS IS REPEATED SEVEN TIMES.
ROUND TWO IS IDENTICAL TO ROUND ONE ONLY WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS AND MORE GOOSE EGGS.
THE PLAYER WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNT AFTER ROUND TWO, WINS THE GAME, AND GETS TO RETURN ON THE NEXT GAME TO DEFEND THEIR TITLE
Comments, questions, or improvements to the above are always welcome!
