What would you call it?

I don\'t think I would call it Double Dare, since too many might confuse that with Marc Summers\' show. Maybe Dare?

Good, then they would know how I felt when I excitedly turned on my TV in 1987 and saw little kids slipping and sliding in green crap.

As I type this I have two dozen board game prototype projects sitting on various shelves. Since I\'m so terrible at naming things, they all have names that are descriptively boring. \"Puerto Rico meets Yahtzee,\" \"Space station game with pie rule,\" \"Chutes and Ladders is no longer for kids only and you won\'t want to poke your eyes out.\"

I would delegate naming to somebody else.

\"Chutes and Ladders is no longer for kids only and you won\'t want to poke your eyes out.\"

Cartagena already has two sequels.

I believe someone on a site of their revival ideas had a concept for Double Dare \'76 and called it \"Dare Devils\"

ETA: Just checked, it was posted by Jason Wuthrich on his site.

That\'s Candy Land. There\'s a difference.

Dare Devil/s would be a fine name.

I came up with: \"Dare to Win\". Would that work?

We could thief \"Who Dares Wins\" from England and Australia.

Oh, you\'re right. Good point.

We could thief \"Who Dares Wins\" from England and Australia.

It would be awesome to have the Who Dares Wins title be applied to three entirely different formats around the world.

I\'d worry more about game play issues (the dared getting the same money as the darer in a Dare situation with one additional clue, a game ending on 2 questions) than I would about the name of the game.

\"The clues show you which way to go, but dare you risk to Challenge Your Foe?\"

I never really thought of either of thosethings as problems.

And it\'s not the case, is it? I thought the recipient of a Dare got half-value (so $50 for a Dare and $100 for a Double Dare) if they rose to the challenge. Which I have no problem with: that\'s the advantage you get for getting the correct answer in the first place.

Correct; what Mike is (probably) referring to:

If I get the subject right I score fifty bucks. I can either sit on that and play a new subject or dare you. If you\'re right the score is now 50-50, and you won that same prize money while having seen another clue. Of course, if you blow it I now have 150-0, and you can\'t take the lead away from me on the double dare because that would make it 150-100.

I just don\'t see the issue there.

Yes, this.
