A working title for this is "Dice Dollars".
This game will use Family Feud type survey questions, two dice like with High Rollers, and an element of Blackjack, similar to Gambit.
A Family Feud style question will be asked.
Players will submit buzz codes via P.M. before the show.
The first player to "ring in" gets to answer the question first.
If they pick the top answer, they automatically win control of the dice.
If they do not pick the top answer, then the other player has a chance to select a higher rated answer to earn control of the dice.
Whichever player wins control of the dice will then have the option to roll or pass to their opponent.
The only time a player may pass the dice is if their score is 11 or higher and if they are currently in the lead.
The object is to get to 21 points first, without going over, or to get closer to 21 than your opponent.
All rolls are face value.
If doubles are rolled, an insurance marker is awarded to the player.
Insurance markers can only be used by a player if a roll they take would put them over 21.
Insurance markers are only good for the current game being played.
As with High Rollers and with Gambit, a best 2 out of 3 game match is played. The match winner plays an end game for up to $21,000 more.
If one player freezes on a score, the other player must still win control of the dice with another survey question.
The unfrozen player gets to answer first. If they pick the top answer they get to roll automatically. If not, the player who has frozen gets to answer.
If the frozen player comes up with a higher ranked answer then the game ends right then and there.
The game also ends if the unfrozen player selects an answer that did not make the survey at all.
The winner of the game is awarded $25 per point, with a minimum of $250. Any 21 is worth $750 to the winner.
The bonus game will have the champion take on the house. This end game will be similar to the 1982 pilot episode of "21" hosted by Jim Lange.
The player will decide before rolling the dice if they want to take the points for their own hand or pass it to the house.
As with Blackjack, the house must stand once they reach a score of 17 or more.
IF the player beats the house or if the house busts, the player will win $5,000.
If the player scores exactly 21 with 3 or more rolls, they win $10,000.
If the player scores exactly 21 in just 2 rolls, they win $21,000.
I the player freezes on a number but the house beats them, they will still win $100 per point.
If the player goes over 21, they win $0 and the bonus game ends.
I'd like to hear feedback from you as to how you like this concept and if you'd want to test run this.
Best,
Bill
