Price is Right 3rd Edition Home Game

[dprice]

Will games like Jam, Shot in the Dark or Domino Game be in this upcoming game?

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Why on God's green earth would they?

So cool ! I like the idea of Super Deluxe TPIR !

You have an original TPIR with the Australian Board Game.
Pricing games are in 3 Dimensions with move parts.

I take a little photo of the game who have any months :


Most real like all the classic tpir board games.
Wall-e is not in a box it's just for the dimensions and presentation ...
a+

uncleplinko, you are a great game designer. Thos epics are very good, btw. If I ran a company that specialzed in producing home versions of game shows, I would definitely pick this up for production.

[blackwood]

That Australian version is excellent to look at.  I cannot believe that is just still around.  Does, Endless have one just like that?

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Have a look, and let me know what you think.

Easy and Clearance Sale in the same box?  Really? 

(Granted, this might not actually be a problem anymore, but still.  )

[uncleplinko]

I know I'm bumping the thread.  My apologies.  Just as a precursor, NO, the game has not been picked up.

BUT, there has been a minor development.

If you follow Endless Games on Twitter (@Endless_Games) as I do, you will know this.  On Thursday, I asked the Tweeter if there were plans standing for a "Price" game upcoming.  The answer I got was, and I quote:

"Hey there! Thanks for the ? about Price is Right! We're looking at 2011 maybe. Not 2010. So hang in there!"

So, I have now conceived THREE possible versions to celebrate Price Year 40:

Version A:  The Super Deluxe Edition, as outlined on my website.
Version B:  A Deluxe 40th Anniversary edition that contains a fully-functional Plinko board, as well as 30 other pricing games, and their necessary boards and/or props.
Version C:  A 40th Anniversary edition, reminiscent of MB-1986 that includes only 12 games, NOT including Plinko.

A note:  At this stage, all three versions would NOT feature prize cards, but would feature an expanded booklet, containing every prize, product, and Showcase featured in one season of the show (and I'm not telling what season, because I don't want anyone cheating!).

Thoughts, feelings, opinions, questions, or conundrums?  Let the conversation resume!

a fully-functional Plinko board.

Hmm, this make me wonder: Remember one of last Season's SC with a little, at home for-use Plinko board? I can't remember the date, sadly, but I'm wondering if that's a precursor to anything we might see.

I'd have to say if you were going to go with one of the 3 versions you mentioned UnclePlinko, I would make a serious push for either version a or version b, and I would love to be a beta tester for the setup.

[uncleplinko]

New question.

For the Showdown, would you prefer...

A) A traditional board game spinner.  Flat card with spinning arrow...
B) A fully-functional replica of the Big Wheel.  Vertical plastic spinning disc... or
C) A DVD-driven Wheel, much like the previous DVD incarnations.

On that topic, for the SHOWCASES, would you prefer...

A) Showcases pulled from a season of the show, placed on "prize cards", two Showcases to one card... or
B) DVD Showcases, film segments pulled direct from the show, only without contestant interactions.

For A, the price of the Showcase would be on the card.
For B, the price of the Showcase would be on a page in the back of the instruction booklet.

Since Endless' updated "Newlywed Game" is half-board and half-DVD, and their new "Family Feud" will have the plastic slidey board, I believe any of these possibilities are probable.  What I need is fan response.

[priceguy]

For the showdown, B would be great.  As long as you can get it in a compact form so it doesn't take up too much space in the box.

For the showcases, I think you need visual aid.  If there are pictures of the prizes on the cards, I think A would be the way to go.  If not, B would be cool too.

[nowhammies11]

Totally agree with priceguy. 
Showdown: B, although A would be cool for old time's sake
Showcases: A, but only if there are pictures on the cards.  You could have the price hidden a la the Password board game, where there's a field of red text, and you have some sort of decoder to reveal the price.

[titantoa4]

for the showdown I like B and for the showcases version A sounds best

[PriceFanArmadillo]

I'd vote B for the SCSD spinner, but would have zero problems with opening the box and finding A.

As for the showcases, I think the DVD's actually a pretty neat idea.  I'm sure the prize cards would be more practical, but being able to say you've got a DVD in the package with actual show footage would be a God-send when it comes to making the package stand out on store shelves.

Now all you need is, when someone makes a particularly dumb bid, a way for all his/her friends to load up a clip of Drew berating someone for making such a terrible bid and it'll be perfect!

Alright gang.  Since gathering answers here isn't really working (but I thank the ones that have responded), I've created a survey at SurveyMonkey to gather the responses I need.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BH3MH9J

I need a good chunk of you all to respond, so I can formulate a decent proposal with actual results.

So, I beg of you all.  PLEASE take the 10-question survey!

My future career depends on it!
