What game shows do you think should have home games? What would it have, and how would you play?

Well, I lately have been thinking about how Hit Man could be made into a home game....

All I need is a book full of stories, a game board for rounds one, two, and the Triple Crown.  Also, I need different colored hit men and money men for each of those rounds as well as different column sizes for the Triple Crown.

Stumpers! would make a good home game too, though I'm sure you could play this one without a board of some kind. ;-)

Legends of the Hidden Temple. Although, that would be kinda hard...and kinda expensive...But wouldn't it be awesome to have a full size temple on your back yard with a talking rock? :P

Duel would likely be an interesting home game.  Power of 10 would have been cool too.

Double Dare (the Nickelodeon version). I would love to have my own personal vat of slime and goo in my backyard. :D

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.

It actually was turned into a home game, but it left a lot to be desired.  No mess, just a lot of props.  I had it years ago.  That was 1988 when I had it.

Believe it or not, there actually was a Supermarket Sweep home game.  It's from the original 1960's version.

I have another one, this time it's Chain Reaction.

I would base it off of the original NBC version.  There would have to be a stand-up board with reveal windows for each word, and the host will decide where the double-scoring words will be.  The chains would be card inserts into the board, and the host would keep track of the score using a dry erase marker and card.  The Instant Reaction bonus round would have a 90-second hourglass, and a packet of words that are bound by a spiral coil so both clue givers can see the word.
