This needs to be brought back immediately. I love this game. Best board game ever.
Board games that became game shows:
Scrabble Yahtzee Trivial Pursuit Boggle Monopoly
They need to reboot this show. There's some changes I would make, Each player picks their game piece, and it's image or silhouette appears on whatever space they roll. They would roll by using a dice roller in the center of the stage on the game board with remote control(similar to that rock'n roller on Monopoly Millionaire's Club). If a player lands on FREE PARKING, they can collect the money that's in it by answering a crossword clue but ONLY the player who lands on FREE PARKING gets that chance, the others can not try to steal. Round1: (Properties) It would still be the same way they acquire properties, here. By answering a crossword puzzle clue with the first letter provided. The property will change into the color of the correct contestants podium. Round2: (Make You Break You) The players add buildings to their properties. Players would roll the dice with the remote controlled dice roller and their game piece's image/silhouette will appear on what space they rolled. If they land on their own property, they answer a crossword puzzle clue to collect the rent but if they answer incorrectly, the other players can buzz in and steal that rent. If a player lands on someone else's property, they can still collect the rent if they answer correctly but if they answer incorrectly, the landlord collects the rent out of the visitor's winnings. If the player ends up in jail, they would remain there for 3 turns unless they pay bail or roll doubles. But if one of the other players lands on a jailed player's properties, the jailed player can not collect rent if the visitor answers incorrectly. If the visitor does answer incorrectly, the rent goes into FREE PARKING. Again, if they land on a railroad, they get a chance to take over another player's monopoly. Round 3: (Make You Break You TWICE) The same as the previous round only the money has all doubled. During the break before starting Round 3, the players have had a chance to add more houses or convert to hotels. But if a player is jail when Round 2 ends, they will have to stick with what buildings are already on their properties for the remainder of the game.(As in the board game, you can not build while you're in jail) Round 2 & 3 will end when they hear a train whistle blow indicating that the round is over. Round 4: (Bonus Boardwalk) The winner gets 5 rolls of the dice to try to get all the way around the board. They will literally walk around the board with the host. If they land on a property they will get money for it and the money will be 5x the rent of a hotel, so anywhere from $1000 to $10,000. If they land on a railroad, they will get a vacation. Nice prizes if they land on utilities. If they land on FREE PARKING, they will get a new car. If they pass GO, they will win $50K but if they land exactly on GO, they will win $100K. However, if the winner was in control of all 8 (colored) monopolies when Round 3/the game ended, they will receive $1M if they land exactly on GO but still $50K if they pass GO. If winner ends up going to jail in the bonus round, they will lose everything what they got in the bonus round but still keep the cash they got from winning the game.
M-O-N-O-P-O-L-Y
If the main "Make It Or Break It" round was a Craps game, there would be four come-out winners (betting on the Pass Line of course), a point hit, and one crap.
This show was a weekly series that aired on ABC in the summer of 1990, being paired with "Super Jeopardy" during that time. It was produced by Merv Griffin, the man originally behind "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune". The host seen here, Mike Reilly, was just a former five-time champion on "Jeopardy", and was apparently a contestant in the pilot episode for this show! The pilot, which was originally intended for syndication, was hosted by Peter Tomarken, who was best known for hosting "Press Your Luck". When not enough stations agreed to carry the show, it became a limited summertime series instead.
Didn’t know this was a thing but I do know MrBeast ended up making a huge video using the game
This show is great. Rapid fire questions, no meaniness background stories and talking segments. Just a pure quiz show. I can definitely tell it was from the creators of jeopardy.
It Was In The UK On S4C (That Is Channel Four Wales) (Welsh: Sianel Pedwar Cymru) For A Brief Time In 1992
Friends and I were discussing the Monopoly TV game show online the other day. The biggest issue, in my opinion, is that it tries to cram an hour's worth of content into a half-hour format. The host doesn’t have time to engage with the players (unlike J! or WoF). Instead, we get a quick introduction from a model just before play resumes with the acquisition of the red properties, and that’s about it. Meanwhile, the rest of the show moves at a breakneck pace to fit the time constraints.
Here are my suggestions for improvement:
First Segment: Acquire all properties between "GO" and "(Just Visiting) Jail," as seen in this episode.
Second Segment: Include a player chat segment—similar to J! or WoF—before moving on to acquire properties between "(Just Visiting) Jail" and "Free Parking."
Third Segment: Pick up the pace slightly. Acquire everything from "Free Parking" to "Go To Jail." If there’s a mandatory fee or sponsor plug, this is a good time for it. Afterward, resume play from "Go To Jail" to "GO."
Intermission: Allow players to buy houses and hotels.
Fourth Segment: Use this time to focus on the big-money round, which should be the centerpiece of the competition. If needed, stretch this round across more than one segment.
Bonus Round: This is fine as it is.
If we can’t get this show on a traditional network like ABC, I can see it thriving on a streaming platform. Shows like "Pop Culture J! and "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?" seem to have started strong on Amazon Prime.
They should've had a higher time limit because three seconds is not enough time and it goes too fast.Needs at least 5 ,maybe 10 tops.
Yes, I watched it in the original run 🙂
Rumor has it that Mike Reilly hosted this show on a dare from Merv Griffin.
Between the three different Monopoly game shows they aired or tested, the only thing that remained about the same was the bonus round of trying to move around the board one time while not landing in Jail. It was present in the Marc Summers pilot, the 1990 limited series, and the Millionaire's Club series in some form.
23:55, Now He'll Have to Go to THE $25,000 PYRAMID!!!!
Summer of 1990. Right after "Super Jeopardy!", Saturday evenings on ABC!
Thanks. I remember watching this at the time. Similar to the Trivial Pursuit game show, I realized I just preferred playing the real games.
the host is lousy, they couldn't have found someone better
Helen missed it on saddle but beat the buzzer on wishbone.
Is this on the trading circuit?
good morning Have You Seen This ? i am new to your channel
