Good evening and welcome to a test game for some ideas I'm considering for Season 4 of Aaron's DoND, which will début sometime after Game 100. Any wins in here will not count towards the stats (which, I know, desperately needs updating...)

KP is playing a potential Season 4 twist, Twelve-Shift! There'll be no Yellow Boxes in this game, but we still require one prediction for 23 Boost/Bonus Box/Offer Button!

Half of your shifts will happen right here at the very beginning, one of each of the six types: A Huge, a Standard and a Small Downshift, and a Small, a Standard and a Huge Upshift. Give me six numbers, your first of which gets the Huge Downshift etc until your sixth selection which gets a Huge Uphsift.

After that, it's a shift after each offer (with the 2-box shift as an option given you have at least one red left in play, and one random amount gets either a huge up/downshift).

1p - £1 contributes to Huge Downshifts,
£5 - £100 contributes to Standard Downshifts,
£250 - £750 contributes to Small Downshifts,
£1k - £5k contributes to Small Upshifts,
£10k - £35k contributes to Standard Upshifts,
£50k - £250k contributes to Huge Upshifts. There is a shift ceiling in place at £500,000.

I'll go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 17 here!

Huge Downshifting... 1p. So literally, all we can reduce that to is to NOTHING!

Standard Downshifting... £15,000; and that's been quartered to £3,750.

Small Downshift for... £5,000; and small indeed as it becomes a lovely and odd £4,444.

Now then...

Small Upshift treatment hits... £50. To £55.

Standard Upshift now for... £20,000! That's better, and so is your new amount of £44,000!

And now the biggie. Huge Upshift is affecting... £1,000... Giving you a new Power 5 amount of £77,000! Nice!

A big gap from £10k to £35k but you'll certainly be enjoying the presence of two more Power 5 amounts! Box 14 is on the table, let's get going! Good luck!

I'm more than OK with that.

8, 2, 4, 6, 10.

Good luck David!


8 - £250!

2 - £10,000 is alright too, though even the lower amounts can have a large effect in Twelve Shift!

4 - £3,000

6 - £3,750 again is good for the board, slightly less good for the shifts, and now we'd like to see a tiny amount or even an empty box...

10 - £750! Getting rid of all those small shift opportunities that could really get this board in motion! Now then, two numbers between 1 and 17 for your next shift, before we get that first offer!

I'd have loved that round in regular play, in this mode I merely like it!

Double 16...

Going for a popular darts finish, and we have goodbye to your £44,000...

... but it's literally hit the ceiling - it's now £500,000! WHAT A SHIFT!!

GAME SHOT! But it's only the first leg...

** RING **

The Banker is livid that you've managed to pull off such a massive first shift already, and hopes you go on to get rid of it in the next round!

Now, no Yellow Boxes but that usual other prediction we'll need at any time, but will that time be now?

No prediction, good grief how will he react to that?!?

Where are at then?

BANKER'S OFFER

£24,444

Biiiiig opening bid!

I was wondering if it was in the 20s, but by gum did I feel unsafe predicting it. What a start and it's far from over... NO DEAL.

16, 18, and 12 to go next. GAME ON!

We play on, and we could be on for some even bigger shifts if this carries on in the same fashion...


16 - £500 is all your small downshifts out of play!

18 - £100,000! First major hit of the night!

12 - £55 is good news though!

Now then, it's two from 1-14 this time...

Got to be double 8 here!

Double 8 moves the £100...

... to £250. Changes into a slightly nicer shift category is the most we can take out of that! BT...

** RING **

The Banker is still unnerved with the £500k in play, but is hinging his hopes on a ARR next time heavily tipping the shift balance before the next call! But he has to assess the board as it is now...

... but are you any more confident in predicting what he's done here?

I think it's worth a BB bid.

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£35,555

A BB prediction in Power 5 territory ALREADY at 14-box, has he?

BANKER'S OFFER

£32,000

Not quite that high just yet but within just over 11%, we'll have a £50,000-activated Bonus Box! No movement on the offer for the time being, though...

Not a terrible miss! Adds another wrinkle that could help me out if nothing else.

NO DEAL here. 22, 21, 20.

All going very well so far, and when Shift games start strong, their momentum tends to keep going in the players favour... This could be a huge game!


22 - £4,444 is fine!

21 - £35,000 means we're one away from the ARR the Banker wants...

20 - £50,000 completes it! Though if any amounts upshift now, they're heading very, very high indeed!

Shift time, and a pair 1-11 please is what I need here...
