Are you ready? Let the confusion begin. Here are the rules.
Each board will have 23 boxes, with six amounts below £1,000, six between that and £26,000, five between £35,000 and £250,000, and six non-cash boxes (usually prizes). The exact values are chosen at random from a selection of around 100 in each category - some of which are themselves randomly generated cash amounts.
However, they will be organised into colours, in roughly the ratio of seats in the new House of Commons: 11 blue values, nine red values, two gold values and one grey box. The amounts are split randomly between colours, which do not indicate value in this game at all, but have a separate role.
This game normally consists of four five-box rounds, leaving a three-box final decision. However, if you hit three of the same colour, or three different colours, with the first three boxes of the round, you gain an instant offer.
After the first three five-box rounds (i.e. at 18-box, 13-box, and 8-box), one colour is chosen at random based on the ratio of amounts remaining, and the impact on the board is as follows:
blue - the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Two random amounts below £5,000 are given a moderate downshift, but one above £50,000 is given a moderate upshift.
red - the poor are helped out, but a deficit problem exists. One random amount up to £100 gains a minus sign (so £50 becomes -£50), but the next two lowest amounts on the board after that amount are given a moderate upshift. If there is no amount under £100 on the board, the two lowest amounts receive a moderate upshift.
gold - freedom is increased, but for whom? An extra offer is added to the next round, but the Banker decides when it is.
grey - the established order is overturned! A redraw of every amount remaining on the board is made, keeping the same amount categories (so a £35k+ value is replaced by a new £35k+ value, a prize is replaced by another prize, etc.)

Not the best of boards, but shifts can make this go any which way...
