See, I thought you were aiming to go with shows that are actually recognizable to a college crowd. Might as well play poker or blackjack (both great TV game shows, BTW)[/quote]
The Super Bowl Party that took place in my room last year turned into a Behind The Blank+Lingo Party, and I was the one that wanted to watch the Super Bowl. So yeah, thanks for your non-contribution.

But I did contribute. If you look at the first page of this thread I was the second one to make a suggestion. I suggested FF and WOF.

Some of these board games that are being tossed around in conversation haven't been in production in 20 years, not to mention the shows. How would a college kid know about a show that went off before they were born?

You're asking that question on this board?

I suspect that Jimmy means the typical college kid, whereas hanging out here pretty much fits the definition of "atypical."

Also, just because people are unfamiliar with a game doesn't mean that they won't enjoy playing it. Most game show formats are easy to explain even to a newbie. Your event could be fun AND educational! Just ask David Hammett, who teaches a high school math class (and stages other activities for that age group) using game show formats old and new.

Okay, if you're opening it up for any show that had a home game, I'll suggest "Stump the Stars." You could probably make it work without even actually obtaining the box game.
