Atinale al Precio question/list

[SteveGavazzi]

I watched Marco Antonio Regil's Atinale al Precio montages last night, and I found myself really enjoying the program.  I got to wondering today what the games played on that version were, as well as what ehy were called.  Of course, being a dork, I then proceeded to create as complete a list of exactly that as I could.  What you see below lists first the games I know were played, then their Mexican names if I know them, and then the translations of their Mexican names if I was able to translate them.

Please pardon the lack of accent marks.

Oh, and I also have a question.  On this page of Marco's Atinale galleries, there's a picture of a game whose set looks like a bunch of dominoes, and I have no idea what it is.  Anyone else know?

[GoldenBulldog]

Looks like the combinations of the dominoes suggest the price of something; as for the game itself, I'm having all kinds of trouble finding it.  Heck, I can't find it on Wikipedia.

[SenorBeef]

Based on what I could read, Pathfinder is "Los Cazadores del Precio Perdido" or "The Hunters of the Lost Price". As for Cliff Hangers I could only see the final word which was Siniestra, gonna take a guess it's "La Caida Siniestra" or "The Sinister Fall", something like that.

[actual_retail_tice]

I believe the domino game is Flip Flop.

"Cuestion Centavos" doesn't make much sense. I think it could be "Cuestion de Centavos", which would mean "A Question (as in a matter) of Cents".

"De Par en Par" means "In Pairs", or maybe more closely "Two by Two".

"La movida" means both "the movement" and "wheeling and dealing", so it appears to be a pun kind of thing.

"Dame carta" you got exactly right, though, Steve. You might even call it "Hit Me".

That makes a hell of a lot more sense that what my Spanish-to-English dictionary said it meant.

Steve, give me a couple of days, and I can get the rest of the names of the Pricing Games. And it's spanish meaning!

[art2005]

Secret "X" - Gato encerrado
race game - Contra el rejol - beat the clock

that's all i can think of

[actual_retail_tice]

For "gato encerrado", I can't think of an English equivalent, but it means "a cat locked-up". You've heard of letting the cat out of the bag; well, this is what you say when you suspect a cat's in the bag and needs to be let out. In other words, a secret being kept from you.

[art2005]

In Mexico...
tic-tac-toe is named "gato"

I'm sure that the one with the dominoes would make a good pricing game if I knew what it is.

With all due respect, that's a rather idiotic thing to say.  You're making a huge assumption about something you freely admit you know nothing about.

[mvp23_07]

Do they use the chips like the us version of shell game use

[Joe_Mello]

So what do they do for a tie?
