[Teddy]

By those lucky rolls of the dice, I knew that the car was won.

And what a win in Pocket ¢hange! To pick the $2 as the last card was the moment of the day.

[Off_trak]

They're being awfully generous with Range Game lately. I can't remember the last time it wasn't dead center...

[tpirsuperfan99]

Pocket Change was amazing, I thought she was done for with the first few cards, but then when the $2.00 cars was drawn, I was amazed.

Also, as a side note, I was expecting Stack or Grocery to show up, especially Stack, because it is a hard game Mike usually likes to use.

[tpiradam]

A month into the new season, are there any games that have yet to be played?

[dconnary]

If I remember correctly, Golden Road hasn't been played yet. I was surprised that it wasn't played during Dream Car Week.

[htmlcc92]

A month into the new season, are there any games that have yet to be played?

Golden Road, Shell Game, Eazy Az 1-2-3, Grocery Game, Line em Up, Magic #, and Pathfinder.  Tha'ts just going off of a rough memory, though, so I may have missed some or some of what I have listed may have in fact been played.

[Josh444]

Golden Road, Shell Game, Eazy Az 1-2-3, Grocery Game, Line em Up, Magic #, and Pathfinder.  Tha'ts just going off of a rough memory, though, so I may have missed some or some of what I have listed may have in fact been played.

Take Eazy off that list, it's been played. Add Stack the Deck.

[PIRfanSince72]

Stack the Deck is very difficult to win and takes a long time to play, which makes me wonder if they're going to can the game altogether.  On the one hand you hate to eat up a lot of time to result in so many losses, yet on the other hand this game is budget buster friendly.  I personally love games that involve as much pricing as possible, which this game does, both with grocery items and the car itself, which makes it unique from the other three grocery item/car games (Hole, Roll and Buck).

Shell Game is a potential budget buster now that they've made the cash award equal to the prize package award for all four shells being won and the player picking the right shell, so I can see what that has not yet been played.

Golden Road is a very special and exciting game, potential budget buster, so no big shock that it hasn't been played yet, especially since we're only 25 episodes into season 46.

Grocery Game is a bit of a surprise.  I know they amended the rules to make it $20 - $22 to win now, and that inflation has impacted the games difficulty level, ditto Check-Out.  Makes me wonder if they're trying to re-tool Grocery Game somehow?

Line 'Em Up - Of all the games that have not appeared yet, this one concerns me the least.  I personally am not a big fan of this game, although I'd rather see it remain than "That's Too Much!".

Magic # - Rarely played, takes a bit longer than the other 2-prize games that more or less involve just one decision being made.  I hope that in spite of the fact that this game takes a while longer to play that they still will feature it.  Perhaps as a time saver, they could set the Magic # at 1000 instead of 0, not unlike how Card Game started with a $0 bid and they gradually increased the opening bid for that game.

Pathfinder - My favorite of the SP/Car games by far.  Best sound effects to me of any game played.  If I were a betting man, I would wager this game will be the next one featured this season.

[GameShowKid]

Pocket Change was amazing, I thought she was done for with the first few cards, but then when the $2.00 cars was drawn, I was amazed.

Complete agreement here. What a win. And I liked the way Drew talked about before going to commercial. Reminded me of the PIR of years and years ago.

[DYC]

I agree that today's Pocket ¢hange was an exciting win, but I noticed something interesting about Drew's card reveal. As Peggy chose her last change envelope from the board, the camera managed to catch Drew slyly moving the envelope from the first slot on the podium to the fourth slot, and placing the last change envelope she chose in the first slot, thus revealing the last envelope chosen first ($.05 I think). I assume that she chose the $2.00 card first off.

This begs the question (and forgive me if it's been asked before) are there any indicators on the envelopes themselves to aide Drew in building his reveal? Kudos to Drew for building a bit of tension with it, followed by the big win reveal.

[brosa0]

The amounts are written on the back of the envelopes to allow the host to build to a big reveal - see attached image for an example.

Did I miss something then? I checked the video again and didn't see a number the two times we had a clearer shot of that angle. https://imgur.com/a/SWvXM

I did not expect both car games to be won, but they were by dumb luck.

Also, just a little edit: Last time we had Dice and Pocket together (Which was apparently once recently via conflict sheet, 6/15/16), they were also both won.
