Break the Bank ('86) also underwent a serious overhaul shortly after Joe Farago took over. The stunts were axed, and now the players played for money instead of seconds. The bonus game was now another puzzle, where players started off with 10 bank cards, and each clue to the puzzle costed between 1-3 cards, which was randomly selected. When the puzzle was solved, the couple had a choice of 50 bank cards. A "bankrupt" card was added, meaning any prizes they won up to that point were lost.
The stunts were kind of stupid, and poorly timed and conceived, but the new bonus game was no improvement. It made for a much duller game.
