Sounds like Dice Game to me.  :-P [/quote]
 Actually, you only use four dice in the course of the Dice Game, given the free digit.  Of course, it is a home game; I suppose you could make the house rules so that you have to roll for all five digits.

The fifth die is for Let 'Em Roll.

Sounds great...gonna pick one up ASAP, as soon as I can find a store that carries it.

There's a few games I was surprised were exempted. Any Number, Switcheroo, a few others. Still a GREAT game, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Jason is right that writing all the prices is a bit irritating.

Any Number is a shocker, you'd think that would be tailor-made for a deck of the eggcrate cards. I suppose you still COULD easily enough, just pluck out a car, and a three-digit prize with non-repeating digits, and the remainder goes in the Piggy Bank.

Switcheroo could be hacked just as easily.

(Of course, they're not on the game-selection wheel, but I'm in favor of the pick-all-six-games-in-advance system, myself, to do as much pre-prep as you can.)

Hell, I think what excites me about the whole thing is that it's as much a Price Is Right Construction Set as it is anything. Wanna play Hurdles? Sure you can! Get you a deck of Trivial Pursuit cards and play Professor Price!

Okay, maybe that last one wasnt such a hot idea.

 Perhaps they wanted to go the variety route; both those games were included in the last edition.

Any Number IS included in this game, Switcheroo is not. For Any Number, you use the include eggcrate cards (1 for the free digit in car and 10 for the other digits).

Looking at Travis' original prototype design, he had 42 games, including Pathfinder, Switcheroo, and Temptation (which are NOT in the actual game).  They settled on Credit Card, Let 'em Roll, Money Game, Range Game, Step Up, and Side by Side to make up for the ones dropped, and to make exactly 45 games.

All in all, it's still designed great!

Whoops! I meant to say One Away, not Any Number, lol.
