Family Fun magazine has released its Top Ten Toys Of the Year (T.O.Y. Awards), and listed at number three is Irwin Toys' "Deal or No Deal" electronic tabletop game!

I was in Toys R Us in my area the other day, and this version was completely sold out! Seems to be the hottest selling of the different versions available!

It's nice, but has two glaring flaws:

1. Uneven Offers ($156,720 Anyone?)
2. Pokey pace with 4 players.

I'm surprised that a lot of DOND versions -- official as well as homemade -- make this simple and easily correctable mistake. Surely it can't be that hard to have the offers rounded to even thousands like on the show.

Well, is it safe to guess that the tabletop version of the game has each player playing the game at least once? One would doing it this way would cut down on the possibility of a tie.

(Which isn't all that huge anyhow. Your points are well taken.)
