I agree with 123123123. Congratulations on the win, Grocery Game. Enjoy your gold medal. And thank you to tpir04 for creating this game and letting us have some fun this summer.
Adjustments that should be made to pricing games to make them fairer: Secret X: Add a 3rd SP so that perfect pricing ensures a win. 1/2 Off: Add a 4th set of SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Master Key: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Rat Race: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win.

The following pricing games should be retired because there's no way or no easy way to make them fair: Spelling Bee, Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Pass the Buck, Let em Roll, 3 Strikes.

The following retired pricing games should be revived: $uper $aver, Give or Keep, Buy or Sell, Hurdles, Bump, Penny Ante, Credit Card, On the Spot, Split Decision, Add em Up, Walk of Fame, Barker's Markers, Magic Number.

I disagree with Grocery Game being even in the top 20, but congratulations nonetheless.

I have my disagreements with this list, as I've made more than clear, but as a whole, it's pretty good, I'd say. Most of these games, in my opinion, are around the spots I'd place them, even 3 Strikes and Plinko.  :-)

I would...

-Swap Check-Out and Golden Road
-Swap Hot Seat and Time is Money
-Swap Take Two and 2 for the Price of 1
-Swap Double Cross and 1 Right Price
-Swap Gridlock and Stack the Deck
-Swap One Wrong Price and Eazy as 1-2-3

...But that's about it. Honestly, credit where credit is due; this is a solid list.  :-)

One thing that this teaches us is as much as we love Price we have very, VERY different opinions about the pricing games. I mean, I love Race Game but I don't think it deserves Top 5 status, and I certainly don't think that Hi-Lo is better than Punch a Bunch. That, and there are games worse than Gridlock!

Congratulations, Grocery Game, you are the last pricing game left standing! You leave us with 4 points. As for the rest of you, we have some nice parting gifts. Thank you to all of you who voted. You've made this a great success. See you next year for the SPIRPGSC: The Sequel; with more fun and some new surprises. Goodbye for now!

*****************

I'm genuinely happy with this list. Of course, there are some adjustments I'd make:

-Triple Play (+15-20 spots)
-Pay The Rent (+20-25 spots)
-Most Expensive (-15 spots)
-Card Game, 1/2 Off (+10 spots)
-Push Over (-20 spots)
-3 Strikes (+10-12 spots)
-Race Game, Clock Game (-30 spots)
-Five Price Tags (+2 spots)

I hope everyone had fun with this over the summer!

FPG: 2019-2020 Finals Champion
...............................

Live for the present.  Embrace the future.  Our favorite game show is still producing excellent, high quality, exciting, hour-long* shows every weekday throughout its traditional season window.  It’s as good as it’s been in a long, long time.  If the 1980s were the ‘good ole days’ for the Barker era, so is RIGHT NOW for the Carey era.  Don’t worry about what the future holds.  It will play out in due time.  Enjoy what we have right in front of us in the meantime!

I can't say I find it surprising that this site has two of the originals in first and second place.
Torgo has left the building. John and I never really cared for the way he presented himself.
