Deal or No Deal (2006)

About this game

Can you beat the odds? In this interactive board game, contestants are encouraged to get the advice of their family and friends, but they have to make the final decision on the potential “deal”…. Based upon the international phenomenon of the highly successful Deal or No Deal television show, this game follows the same set of rules. Select a briefcase and either stay with that briefcase or make a deal with the bank for a cash offer in exchange for your briefcase’s hidden cash value. Will you end up with $1 million, or $.01? Ages 10 and up, intended for 2-6 players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
