Cash Cards

[ap2023]

As I stated in the "Coming Soon.." thread, this is the return of "Cash Cards."
There are a few changes to the game itself, but the excitement and fun will never change.
Anyway, the game works like this:
There are two parts to this game: The Main Game and the Becky's Challenge Game. 
As The Game progresses, I'll explain more about both parts of the game.
I need two players who would really like to play the game to please sign up now.
As with all my other games, everyone is eligible, no one is a loser, and only sign up if you really are interested in playing.
I do not force or demand people to play if they do not want to, because..
1. It isn't my style.
2. It would violate the rules set here in this forum.
So, if you want to play, please sign up now. 

[bighornbattle]

May I give this a go please?

[bighornbattle]

Thank you friend.

[nelson21]

I’ll try

[ap2023]

Ok. We have our two players.
Now, let's begin the game. 
Let's get you players started off with $10 each.

Now, let's look at the Game Board for Round 1.

As you can see, players, there are 30 squares on the board.
Behind those squares are various playing cards, each worth monetary value, except one.
The Values are as follows:
a 2-9 is that value of the card multiplied by $100.
A 10 is $1000
A Jack is $2000
A Queen is $3000
A King is $4000
An Ace is $5000
A Joker is a WILD CARD. if you find a Joker, hold on to it and you can use it later on in the game. 
There is also a BOMB somewhere on the board.
You must try to avoid the bomb at all costs, because finding it will end the round immediately.
At that point, the player who has the most money moves on to the Bonus Game.
The other player gets to keep his/her winnings as well. 
To get control of the board, I will ask a general knowledge question.

The player in control gets to answer first.

If his guess is correct, he gets to choose a card from the board (Just type a number 1-30)

If his answer is incorrect, his opponent gets to play.
Now, unless there are any questions, shall we begin the game?

[bighornbattle]

Yes we shall.

[ap2023]

Ok. George, it's your turn.
For control of the board, here is your question. 
In France, a man was arrested for ordering a Coke at a restaurant.
He used the word "Coke" instead of "Coca"
Why did the police arrest him?
A. He forget to pay for the drink
B. He was suspected of an illegal drug
C. He said something he wasn't supposed to say in public.

One of those answers is correct, George.
Which one?

Just type "A"  "B" or "C" to give me your answer. 
And, if your right, you get control of the board.
If not, Nels gets control.

[bighornbattle]

I am totally guessing. B.

[ap2023]

And you're RIGHT!
(Audience applause)
Explanation: In France, when a person orders a soda, it is more respectful to say "Coca" than Coke, because the police believe that the person might be trying to buy an illegal drug. This is a crime in France.

Very well done, George. 
And now, you have control of the board. 
Pick a number (1-30) and I'll display the card behind it. 

[nelson21]

Btw my name is nels not Nelson

[bighornbattle]

24 please for my lucky number.

[ap2023]

Ok, George, you selected #24.
And behind #24 is...

A 10!
That makes your score $1010!

Ok, Nels. (Sorry about missing your name earlier) 
It's your turn.
George currently has control of the board, but for YOU to gain control, you must answer this question correctly. 
Complete this phrase: "The best way to get out of a_____ is to not get into one."
A. Jam
B. Strange scenario
C. Sticky situation
If your answer is right, you gain control of the board.
If not, George keeps control.
Type "A" "B" or "C" to answer.

[nelson21]

C

[ap2023]

That is CORRECT!
(Audience applause)
The complete phrase is: "The best way to get out of a sticky situation is to not get into one."
And you now have control of the board.
24 is already out, so choose another number, Nels. 

[nelson21]

12

[ap2023]

Ok, Nels.
You selected Card #12.
That card is...

A 4.That brings your total to...


Just a recap to let everyone know what the current scores are:


Ok, George. It is YOUR turn now. 
And here is your question.
Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday is celebrated in which month?
A. October
B. January
C. May
Please type in your answer "A" "B" or "C"
And remember, if you're wrong, Nels gets control of the board.

[bighornbattle]

B.

[ap2023]

You're right AGAIN, George!
(Audience applause)
Martin Luther King Jr's birthday is indeed in January.

With that correct answer, you get to choose another card from the board. 
12 and 24 are already out of play, and be aware that the bomb is still there somewhere.

[bighornbattle]

6 please.

[ap2023]

Very well, George.
You want Card #6, and Card #6 contains...

A 7!
That increases your score to..

This is a great game so far.
And we will continue the game after this break.
(Break)

[ap2023]

(Show resumes)

And we're back.
Here is what the board and the scores looked like before the break.


As I said earlier, this is a very good game so far. 
Nels, it is your turn now. 
For control of the board, answer this question correctly. 
What city is the Soap Opera "The Young and The Restless" in?
A. Salt Lake City
B. Carson City
C. Genoa City

Please enter the correct answer by typing "A" "B" or "C"
If you are right, you get control of the board.
If you are incorrect, George takes control.
Just keep that in mind.

[nelson21]

C

[ap2023]

Of course the answer is "C!"
(Audience applause)
Any fan of "The Young and the Restless" knows that the city where the Soap Opera takes place in is Genoa City. 
Well done, Nels. 
Now, you have control of the board. 
What number would you like?
Keep in mind that 6, 12 and 24 are out of play, and be aware that the bomb is still there somewhere. 
Be careful with your choice, Nels. 

[nelson21]

22

[ap2023]

Nels has chosen #22.
Let's hope it is a good choice.
Behind #22 is...

OH NO!
The bomb has been revealed, and THAT stops the game immediately. 
Here are the scores after the main game. 



I'm sorry about that, Nels. 
However, you do NOT leave empty-handed.
We will multiply your winnings by 10 and you'll take home...$4,100.
$4,100 and our thanks for being a contestant on "Cash Cards."
I certainly hope you had fun playing the game. 

And, in just a moment, George will have a chance to see if he can keep his money intact.
And perhaps win more in the "Becky's Challenge" Round.
We'll have that for you right after this break.
(Commercial break)

[ap2023]

Welcome back to "Cash Cards!"
Standing beside me is our champion George, ,who has $1710 at the moment. 
And now, he has a chance to make more money in the Bonus Game,
We call it "Becky's Challenge!"

As you can see, George, the "Becky's Challenge" board is now on the stage.
You will notice the design of the board looks very similar to the old one-armed bandit used on "The Joker's Wild."
And the rules are exactly the same.
On the wheels are playing cards with the following monetary values:
Ace: $100
2-9: That number multiplied by $100 (A 5 would be $500 for example)
10s and Face Cards; $1000 each
2x: Doubles your winnings, but you must have THREE of them appear in the windows
3X: Same as the 2X card, but it TRIPLES your winnings. 
Jokers: Jokers are worth $2000 each, and THREE of them is an instant win. You will win $5000 if you "spin" three Jokers.
Those are all the GOOD cards. Now, let's meet Becky. 

This is Becky. 
Any time Becky appears on the board, you lose all of your winnings, except for the $1710 you have won previously. 
Also, you may stop and take your winnings at any time.
Especially is if you're afraid Becky may show up on your next spin.
So, before we begin the "Becky's Challenge," are there any questions?

[bighornbattle]

Is there a limit on winning here?

[ap2023]

I forgot to mention that. 
You can have up to 10 spins on the board.
As long as Becky doesn't show up, you'll keep whatever winnings you have accumulated. 
Also, you are allowed to stop and take your winnings at any time during the game. 
So, are you ready to see if you can win more money?

[bighornbattle]

Yes I am.

[ap2023]

All right, then, George.
Step over there and pull that handle.
We're all rooting for you!
As I said, as long as Becky doesn't appear, you'll be all right.
So, go ahead and give the wheels a spin, George.
