All through seasons 31 and 32, the first price on each path was also the second price on one of the other paths, and the prices at the end of the paths only appeared once each.

Hmm, they changed it? That was what made it a decent game, those three prizes forming six choices and the way that all three paths intertwined. That change really hurts the game, if I understand you correctly. That means that at least one of the paths was a dead end right from the start?

In answer to the OP, there are no confusing games, just REALLY confused viewers after reading the above posts.
The game has not changed (aside from the price layout on the 'spots') since the original airing.

Yeah, I have to agree with you TVWxman. Anybody recently watched a Clock Game or Race Game(today) playing? Seems like the old school games are hard to figure out, and the new ones are getting wins. Makes sense(not).

Perhaps the odds of getting someone frequently who could play those games in the calm, methodical manner they need to be played are a lot less today than they used to be. Perhaps the newer games are being formulated to take advantage of the fact that the average contestant is not as bright as they used to be.
I can imagine that when your typical fratboy sees Clock Game coming around--if he even recognizes it--he immediately becomes petrified that it is a game that he'll have to win or lose on his own without the help of his frat buddies in the audience.
