You obviously read my explanation of Bob screwing up the rules. Would you care to actually pay it some attention?

Bob screwing up the rules vs Bob screwing up the game: it's still Bob screwing up something that affected gameplay. The whole issue is whether a game should be retired because of a flaw or screw-up (or as I called it, an issue). I believe that $uper $aver given the same treatment as Pick-A-Pair would still be in circulation today. Whether it's a whoops with Bob's rules or an issue with the game, second chances should be given. I'm sure we can all agree that $uper $aver was a pretty good pricing game.
As far as proper comparisons, I do not recall any other pricing game that Bob messed up the rules with which eventually resulted in the game being out of circulation so no other proper comparison can be made. I do not want to confuse with confusing games which were retired because I'm sure people can recall many of them (Double Digits comes to mind). It wasn't much about Bob screwing around the rules but more like "How confusing do you want me to say the rules".
It doesn't say anywhere on the golden road web site whether Double Digits was retired due to confusion but I'm sure from the TPIR tapes we've seen of this game, I wouldn't have been suprized if it was a factor why it got retired.
Deep down inside, I'd just like to see $uper $aver back.
I'm tired NOWK
