but it's far from the most overrated (I could think of three, maybe four, that could get a better argument and will share if you'd like).
I'm interested; what do you think they are, and by what measure?
Okay, I shall tell you. But only because you asked.
My nominees for "the three or four TPIR pricing games that are the most overrated, according to me" are as follows. Keeping in mind these are games still in rotation.
-Pathfinder. I've never really understood its appeal, and maybe it's just me (as is in a lot of cases) but I find it a little hard to understand how this is a game that can't be won every time out. The pattern of correct numbers seems easy enough to solve if the contestant simply listens and pays attention (as in solve without messing up once).
-Card Game. I understand you have to adapt to the times, but this went way overboard and it seems every change they made hurt its enjoyability. Raising the maximum range to $5000 made it too easy to win, and the chrome they added, while aesthetically pleasing, simply glossed over that. I used to like Card Game because there wasn't much room for error and it had to be played well in order to win. Now there's not as much challenge.
-Let 'em Roll. Like Card Game, one that the chrome added to the game was nice, but glosses over something. In this case, Let 'em Roll is just a dull game. Okay, you're guaranteed to win something, which is good, but it's just so...boring.
-Three Strikes. Great, you can win a luxury car. Not so great, having the odds go so greatly against you the farther along you go. Worse, you don't keep track of what goes where and you take forever. Just a slog of a game where by the time you get to the payoff, if you're lucky enough, it feels like an eternity passed.
