Deal or No Deal

Way Off Topic No Comments »

Tonight was a special Deal or No Deal. It was a 2-hour event. Two of the contestants had the $1 million case but sold their cases. I don’t know if I could play the whole thing through especially with no safety net. When there are two huge amounts in play, it’s easy to keep going.

I’ve been wanting to buy the Deal or No Deal card game. It comes in a cute little briefcase. It’s for 2-6 players. I’ve read it is just like the TV show except the bank offers are totally random and may not make much sense. It may be an incredibly low offer when it should be much higher. I’m not sure how more than two people can play though. I’m hoping to hold out and catch it on sale. Most TV-based board/card games seem to wind up on sale.

The next Deal or No Deal is also a two hour event featuring twins playing for $2 million. Oh and the models have been replaced by policeman in a special Ladies Night edition of Deal or No Deal. Should be a fun one.
