Game 50 will be a special edition, played under unique rules that incorporate aspects of multiple game modes in the series.

Suffice to say that it is set up to produce a win of over £50,000 after this Banker has gone 48 games without paying out more than that!

The player for this game will be selected at random. Get your name in the mix by commenting on this thread!

I want to play game 50, so throw my name into the hat

Well why the ruddy hell not!

Count me in!

Aye, I'll give it a shot KP

Put my name in the hat please!

One more name for the hat, please!

Eh, why not? Put me in, coach!

The draw for this game will take place tonight at 9pm UTC / 10pm UK / 5pm ET. Get your name in before then to be in with a shot. The game will then take place at the next available time for both me and that player.

Me,me please!

Slightly later than billed, the draw has taken place...

You, me, Aaron, Woko...it's like '06 all over again! Best of luck to you Paul, and well done David too, it's great to have something that gets the forum excited now and then. I'm looking forward to this.

PAUL, welcome to Game 50!

Inspired by how the Banker has never paid out more than £50,000 in 48 games - he refuses to count the £93,500 that got coughed up by his deputy! - this game is themed around the number 50 and also around £50,000.

The game uses the foundation of It's Your Game - the blues and the jackpot are provided to start, then you pick five pairs of reds. But while in a regular game each set of pair has a different intended value from £10,000 to £50,000, in this game all five pairs are from the list of £50,000 pairs!

That's not all. Instead of the regular blues, we have a special set of blues. The Banker's Power 5 will now be 50p and four gold-themed grocery products courtesy of Waitrose & Partners. The other six blues will now be £50 and five gold-themed prizes courtesy of John Lewis & Partners. And the jackpot has been rounded up to a colossal £500,000!

And finally, there's an aspect of 23 Build and of our incoming new game mode for Series 3.2, Car Chase. Your special starting money menu looks like this...

But you will get to make three predictions of the offer. Every time you are within 10%, you will gain an extra +£50,000 option to Box 23! Just hitting that, with anything, will give you our biggest win ever. Of course, you need to win cash rather than a prize to get that Box 23 at all... but what is that car? Well, that too is built around predictions. It starts as a toy car, £7.99 courtesy of John Lewis & Partners... but if you can make good predictions, you can turn it into a real car, potentially even an Audi e-tron worth over £82,000!

This is going to be an incredible game. Paul is unbatting for now, but... we will see you tomorrow night!

And if this doesn't summon Jacques back nothing will

Well it's not night yet but it would have been in winter, so here we go!

Paul, your first decision in this game is to pick one of these two pairs of reds:

£35,500 / £68,000
£4,200 / £165,000

One of those pairs adds a massive prize. One of them adds TWO Power 5-territory boxes. You can pick only one...

Super excited and super terrified of this at the same time!

In a wild board, some semblance of stability would help so I’ll take the £35k pair.

And of course you can always add some riskier pairs later!

Is this your chance to do that?

...yes, apparently. You're definitely adding one big backup and one little backup, but just how big-little do you want to go here?

Oh well, I had some stability so now I’ll have some fun..

£1,093 pair please.

There we go! There's a time to play safe, a time to go for it, and sometimes the time to do one is immediately after you've done the other.

...are also big-little!

First pair please!

Two six-figure backups on the board is surely going to worry the Banker, and that choice just gave you a five-figure backup as well!
