Deal Or No Deal Board Game
Deal or No Deal is purely a game of luck. All you have to do is pick a suitcase and hope that it has the number you want. You could end up leaving the show with $5 or even $500. Why someone would actually make this into a board game is beyond me because there is really nothing to it.
The Deal or No Deal board game comes with a large plastic board that looks just like the money board on the show, money cards, and cardboard suitcases in which the money cards go in to.
When you are playing the two player version of the game one player will be the banker/host and one is the contestant. The banker has complete control over the amount of money that is offered to the contestant. Both players will switch off being the banker and whoever wins the most wins. Of course this means that the second banker will not offer them something that will cause them to lose.
The version for three to six players injects a “kitty” into the game which players can win by opening either the $750 briefcase or the $0.01 briefcase. It also includes a guessing element, where players can win money by guessing what amount is in the briefcase about to be opened. (Neither of these additions makes sense to me, either.) Each player is the host/banker once, and the contestant once. Players start with $1.125 million and any offers they make as host/banker must come out of their own cash. At the end, the player with the most money wins.
Honestly this game is a tad on the boring side. If you really want this kind of excitement then you should probably stick to the show.
