Announcer: And now, here's your host, the woman with all the cash behind the cards, APRIL MARTINEZ!
(Applause as I walk onto the stage)

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another exciting edition of "Cash Cards!" 
This time around, the question round has been removed from the game and control of the board will be decided by the use of number cards. I will explain about THAT in a moment.
Right now, let's welcome back our returning champion, with a 3-Day total of $55,950: GEORGE CLUSTER!
(Audience applause as George walks onto the stage)
Welcome back, George!
How are you doing tonight?

[bighornbattle]

I am blessed and highly favored. I can't believe I won 3 games in a row. I hope to make it 4. Whoever is my next opponent is I face, I wish them nothing but the best of luck.

[ap2023]

We'll find out who your opponent is shortly, George. 
I need a challenger to play against George.
If you are interested in playing, please sign up now.

[Bryan]

Alright I’ll give this a shot!

[ap2023]

Welcome, Bryan!
Good luck to you.
And of course, to you, too, George. 

As stated earlier, the rules have changed for this show. 
Control of the board will now be made by using number cards.
Each of you has 5 cards in front of you and will turn one card over.
Whoever has the higher number gets control of the board. 
I'll explain about the board in a moment. 
Ok, players, each of you turn over one of the 5 cards you have in front of you.
(Type "Card 1," "Card 2," "Card 3," "Card 4," or "Card 5" to make your choice.
If there is a tie, the cards will be reshuffled and you'll have to draw again. 

[Bryan]

Card 4

[ap2023]

Very well. 
Bryan wants Card #4.

Ok, George.
Which of your cards would you like?

[bighornbattle]

3 for the number of days I have won.

[ap2023]

Very well.
George would like Card #3.

Now, let's reveal the numbers behind those cards.
Whoever has the higher number will gain control of the Cash Board. 

George has a 4, and Bryan has a 3.
George gets control of the Cash Board first. 

On the "Cash Board" are playing cards (2-9 are the number on the card multiplied by $100, 10s and face cards are worth $1000. Aces are worth $2000 (A change from the last show)) Jokers (They will double the amount shown) and of course there are a few bandits as well.
Finding a bandit won't cost you your winnings, but control will pass to your opponent. 
The round will continue until I say, "Time's Up" or 4 bandits have been revealed, whichever comes first. 
At that point, the player who has the most money will be the champion and move on to the "Becky's Challenge" Round. 
You may also choose to pass control to your opponent at any time during the game. 
Ok, George, if you are ready, please select a number from the board.
And good luck.
 

[bighornbattle]

8 please.

[ap2023]

(I am so sorry for the delay, but with Internet problems and other things in my life, I had to take some time off for a while)
Anyway, I'm back now, and we can continue the game. 
George, if I remember right, you wanted Box #8.
Ok.
Let's see if there is anything besides a bandit behind Box #8.

It's a 10, and that gives you $1000, George.

(Audience applause)
Would you like to keep playing or pass to Bryan?

[bighornbattle]

Pass.

[ap2023]

Very well.
Bryan, George has passed to you.
Please select a number from the board, and good luck.

[Bryan]

4

[ap2023]

Bryan has selected Box #4.
And behind Box #4 is...

A 10!
And that gives YOU $1000, too, Bryan.

It also gives you the option of continuing to play to try to increase your winnings or pass to George.
What would you like to do, Bryan?

[Bryan]

Go again. I’ll choose 6.

[ap2023]

Very well.
Bryan has chosen Box #6.
Let's hope there is something good for him behind Box #6...

It's just a 2.
But anything is better than a bandit.
Anyway, that adds $200 to your score, Bryan.

And it is still your turn, Bryan.
Would you like to continue playing, or do you want to pass to George?

[Bryan]

One more.

10

[ap2023]

Going with #10.
Very well, Bryan.
I hope there is something good behind #10.
We certainly do not want to see a bandit here.
What do we have behind #10?

It's a JOKER!
(Audience applause)
Finding that Joker was a great thing, Bryan, because your winnings have now been doubled to $2400.
\
You have a $1400 lead over George at this point.
You can either continue playing to try to increase your winnings, or you can pass to George.
What would you like to do, Bryan?

[Bryan]

Pass

[ap2023]

Very well.
George, Bryan has passed control over to you.
Please select a number from the board.

[bighornbattle]

30 please.

[ap2023]

Interesting choice there.
George, if there is a 10, a face card or a Joker behind #30, you'll be right back in this game.
Let's find out.
Show us what is behind Box #30 please. 
(Let's hope it is NOT a bandit)

It's a QUEEN!
(Audience applause)
That queen gives you $1000, George, and you're right back in the game.

However, you still trail by $400.
So, would you like to keep playing and try for more money, or would you like to pass to Bryan?
(Just so everyone knows, The Bandit count so far is "0," and I think we all would like to keep it that war. If possible)
So, what would you like to do, George?

[bighornbattle]

Go for it. #3 for my 3 wins.

[ap2023]

Ok.
George has chosen Box#3.
Let's hope there is something good behind Box #3
And let's keep that Bandit count at "0."
Will we be able to?

Yes! With a 6.
And George has taken the lead back.

This is a very close game, and the Bandit count is still at "0."
George, you have a decision to make. 
Would you like to keep playing and try for more money, or do you want to pass to Bryan?

[bighornbattle]

I feel good to play 1 more. #7.

[ap2023]

Very well.
George would like to see what's behind Box #7 please.
And let's hope we can keep the Bandit count at "0"
What's behind Box #7?

Interestingly enough it IS a 7.
(Audience laughter)
Anyway, that adds $700 to your total, George.
And the Bandit count is STILL at "0."


(Bell rings)
That means that we are running short on time. 
George has the lead with $3300, but this is a chance for Bryan to catch up. 
Bryan, you trail by $900. 
And I'm going to give you THREE picks (1 at a time)
If you can get a 9 or higher (in three picks) you will win the game.
If you hit a Bandit or do not reach the total, George will remain the champion. 
So, take your time, Bryan, and tell me what number you would like from the board.

[Bryan]

5

[ap2023]

Very well, then.
Bryan has selected Box #5.
If there is ANYTHING except a Bandit behind Box #5, you're still in the game.
If a Bandit appears, George will remain the champion. 
Let's see what's behind Box #5 please. 

It's a 9!
(Audience applause)
Now, here is an interesting situation.
You're tied at $3300 each.

Bryan, you still have control.
If you want, you can try to increase your winnings, or you may pass to George.
But I want to caution both of you.
If either of you hits a Bandit, your opponent wins the game. 
So, this is a very important decision.
What would you like to do, Bryan?
Play for more money, or pass to George?

[Bryan]
