Periodically, the REAL deal or no deal would have "themed weeks" which imitated events outside of the Dream Factory, and that's what I want to make a permanent feature for my version. To do that, I'll use the same structure as deal, with each theme week having the same basis, with an extra twist thrown in during each week.

PURE POTS! will be the recurring theme in the special weeks of games. There will be 5 different pots taking the place of TEN cash amounts on the board..

COPPER POT- £25,000 REPLACING £5 & £35,000
BRONZE POT- £35,000 REPLACING £1 & £50,000
SILVER POT- £50,000 REPLACING 50P & £75,000
GOLD POT- £100,000 REPLACING 10P & £100,000
PLATINUM POT- £250,000 REPLACING 1P & £250,000

Each pot has a start value of the amounts you see above, and can be added to throughout games. Each pot also replaces the amounts you see next to the pots starting value.

Up until 11 box, every time a pair of pots are found (ie the £5 and £35,000 leave the game in the first 11 boxes), a random £x,000 will be added to the pot, between 1k and 50k, so the value of those pots will be higher for the next game.

A pot is reset to it's default value every time it is on the table. If a pot is won in the case of a SWAP having taken place, the winning pot WILL be reset. If there were TWO pots at the climax of the game, the pot which was on the table will be left, and the pot which it was swapped for will be reset.

If two pots remain at the end of the game which are the same (ie both platinum pots), that pot is instantly won, and the main game ends.

Depending on the theme, the Offer Button may or may not be in play.

There will be NO HI-LO PREDICTION as Box 23 WILL NOT be compulsory in themed weeks. However, if a platinum pot is won, Box 23 will hold NO downside.

The Bonus Box will still be enabled with wins of £35,000 or more after Box 23 is opened in or out of live play.

The Box 23 options for this will be different for each theme with only six options, and heavily bias towards the player, but with it not being compulsory.. will contestants be willing to risk 90% of their winnings on the box?

I'm open to other suggestions, and will let you know if I add or tweak any of the rules.
