2 for the Price of 1: “Hey, what if we made another version of Safe Crackers, except we made it suck?” -2
That’s Too Much! may be a necessary evil, but it’s still evil. -2
Yes, Hot Seat takes too long to play and it eats up a lot of lineup time, but I can’t help but find myself enjoying it while it’s on. +1

"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

In all fairness, I think it should be 24 hours, since "calendar day" is legitimately different everywhere. Someone could make a post at, say, 1159pm and then another one immediately at 1201am... defeating the purpose of the rule.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I chose calendar days because they're much easier to keep track of.

3 Strikes — — (I know I’m going to Price Hell for this, but I think this game is overrated. Why? It’s luck based and requires basically no pricing knowledge. The set is great, and it’s exciting due to the luxury car prizes, but I really wish a less luck based game was chosen for the honor of luxury cars.)
2 for the Price of 1 ++ (I like this game for some reason. I guess I just feel its simplicity, rules that abide by the title (2 prizes; you have to pick 2 digits for the piece of one free one) and solid set make this a good one.)
Golden Road ++ (THE Price is Right game. This site is named after it for a reason. It’s the most grand, fun, suspenseful, and accurate game to what The Price is Right is supposed to be: a fun exciting show where you could win truly fantastic prizes.)

Cliffhangers ++ (I wish I could give it a +3, as I think it's nearly perfect.)
Hole in One or Two - (Yes, I understand it's considered a classic, but the putting accuracy kind of rubs me the wrong way.)
Pay The Rent ++ (I actually really like adding up the prices, an added pricing challenge to give us a high-stakes game.)

It’s in the Bag: +2. A suspense-building test of pricing skill that rewards contestants willing to back themselves.

Danger Price + (Simple, but I like the concept of avoiding a price.)
Clock Game + (Another classic like Race Game, though it still has its problems with "out-of-order" guessing.)
Hot Seat ++ (While this game is "loud" in a lot of ways, it is still a fun pricing game. Credit for them starting with only the correct picks too.)

Spelling Bee ++ (Such a fun and quirky set, manages to deftly weave pricing knowledge and bailouts into one game that I always find a blast to watch. I can't 100% say I'm a fan of an exact guess winning all three SPs, but the producers ensure that it rarely happens anyways, and it ultimately just seems like a nitpick to me.)

Lucky $even -- (Even ignoring how manipulative the setups can get, the idea of having to price the last 4 digits of a car with a very small room for error does not sit well with me at all.)

Range Game -- (My main complaint is probably more inflation's fault than anything else, but is there really much pricing knowledge involved in guessing the ending of a prize that's worth multiple thousand within just $150? Not to mention that stopping at the middle of the rangefinder will earn you a win almost every time.)

I hadn't really thought about this before, but the reality of death means that every day there are less people in the world than the day before.  In reality there are many more people in the world than this but for illustration: If one day there are 1000 people in the world and the next day 55 people die, now there are 945 people in the world. if 30 more die the next day now there are 915 people in the world. So we'll eventually become extinct as will all creatures as the same reality applies to dogs, cats, horses etc.

One Wrong Price ++ (I don't get why this is so low. There are far worse quickies, and I feel it's different enough from Most Expensive to be fine on its own.)
Check-Out ++ (Always liked this game, to be honest. It's not just pricing the groceries well; it's keeping the 'budget' in mind, adding some strategy to it.)
Flip Flop -- (2nd worst quickie, imo, just behind Check Game. Let's include three options instead of two, and have one of the three be completely pointless. At least the third option had a point in Squeeze Play.)
