thanks so much🙂

I was on Oct 17 2023… a LFAT, played Cliffhangers and won over 8000 in prizes! I feel upset I didn’t make the list🙂

Brief recap from Nate today:

I pull a randomly high DSW, beating Frank as well for the overall win, while Nam pockets cash from third place today. I think this DSW also gets me over the half a million dollar threshold for the season.

Vend-O-Price is probably the closest thing to Give Or Keep today regarding the concept of a blind draw with fee items. It moves along quicker though and the differing items on each shelf makes it a more interesting pricing challenge than the one dimensionality of Give Or Keep's. That said, if they create a new car/cash with SP games, I wouldn't mind the similar pricing concept with two SPs and no price given, for example having free digits or extra chances awarded for each correct answer. That way, you can use the longer time to play for something  much more exciting.
