I've been thinking of bringing my series back with a different rule set, but with offer predictions still being a big part of the game. Credit to KP and Aaron Brock for inspiring some of these ideas.

Pre-game Board Swap

From now on, we'll start with a standard 22 box board.

1p
10p
50p
£1
£5
£10
£50
£100
£250
£500
£750
£1,000
£3,000
£5,000
£10,000
£15,000
£20,000
£35,000
£50,000
£75,000
£100,000
£250,000

However, 5 of those values will be exchanged with 5 of these 10 values:

NOTHING
2p
£2
£20
£200
£2,000
£25,000
£60,000
£150,000
£200,000

As before, you can't buy Box 23 if you win NOTHING.

Once that is taken care of, you play the game with the usual 5-3-3-3-3-3 box opening format. You predict up to 3 offers, but miss any one of them by more than 15% and the Banker immediately gets to look inside your box (but not any on the wings) and you cannot predict any future offers. Here are the rewards:


Offer Button Prediction

This prediction gives you the opportunity to get an extra offer at any non-standard stage of the game.

≤ 1%: LIVE BUTTON; Button offer ≥ 75% of the mean
≤ 5%: LIVE BUTTON; Button offer ≥ 50% of the mean
≤ 10%: LIVE BUTTON only
≤ 15%: LIVE BUTTON only; Button must be used BEFORE 5 box
> 15%: NO OFFER BUTTON

Box 23 Jackpot Prediction

At the beginning of the game, the Box 23 jackpot starts at £0. This prediction will increase it by the stated amount.

≤ 1%: £100,000
≤ 5%: £50,000
≤ 10%: £30,000
≤ 15%: £15,000
> 15%: £0


Bonus Money Prediction

This prediction can win you guaranteed money that will not be at risk when it comes time for Box 23.

≤ 1%: £10,000
≤ 5%: £5,000
≤ 10%: £3,000
≤ 15%: £1,000
> 15%: NO BONUS MONEY[/quote]


SWAP offers and impromptu extra offers are fair game regardless, though the Banker cannot make an offer conditional on buying/declining Box 23.

Box 23

After the conventional game is complete, Box 23 comes into play. If it is still in play, the offer button may be pressed at this time for an offer of additional money not to buy Box 23, with the percentage stipulations applying to the Expected Value of Box 23. It will contain one of these six options:

TRIPLE*
DOUBLE
+ BOX 23 JACKPOT
HALF
QUARTER
NOTHING

* Should a player win £250,000, this will be replaced with QUADRUPLE

All winnings will be at stake should this be bought, except bonus money won from a prediction.

So, as before, over £1,000,000 is at stake, but the Banker won't give it up without a fight. Who would like to try this new format out?

Ooh, me. I like this. Aaron has definitely inspired things, and I love how the offer button can be saved to the end to bump up the guaranteed win if you wish. The pre-game board swaps that I've inspired will also be interesting, as everyone will start from a different position.

I'll go first, if that's OK?

After seeing how overly generous the prediction rules are in the first two games, I've decided the amend them.

You can still predict up to 3 offers, but miss any one of them by more than 15% and the Banker immediately gets to look inside your box (but not any on the wings) and you cannot predict any future offers. Here are the revised rewards:


Offer Button Prediction

This prediction gives you the opportunity to get an extra offer at any non-standard stage of the game.

≤ 1%: LIVE BUTTON; Button offer ≥ 75% of the mean
≤ 5%: LIVE BUTTON; Button offer ≥ 50% of the mean
≤ 10%: LIVE BUTTON only
≤ 15%: LIVE BUTTON only; Button must be used BEFORE 5 box
> 15%: NO OFFER BUTTON

Box 23 Jackpot Prediction

At the beginning of the game, the Box 23 jackpot starts at £0. This prediction will increase it by the stated amount.

≤ 1%: £100,000
≤ 5%: £50,000
≤ 10%: £30,000
≤ 15%: £15,000
> 15%: £0


Bonus Money Prediction

This prediction can win you guaranteed money that will not be at risk when it comes time for Box 23.

≤ 1%: £10,000
≤ 5%: £5,000
≤ 10%: £3,000
≤ 15%: £1,000
> 15%: NO BONUS MONEY
