After two oddly subdued finishes to the first two games of the series, KALL is here and liable to turn up the volume! Anyone's guess how this one will go...

...other than that it starts like any other Series 5 game. 1-5 now, with player power, Banker power, two-way power, offer pattern, and money menu to decide...

5 for player power
4 for banker power
3 for two way power
2 for offer pattern
1 for money menu

Countdown to the... what?

That changes a few things! You get a wheel to spin at the end of the game, your four lowest reds get the KILLER treatment and lose a zero, and your five lowest blues become electronics prizes all provided by John Lewis & Partners! Which makes them actually worthwhile, but winning one of those keeps you out of using 25 with the unique THRUST/BONUS/DRAIN/SUPER DRAIN/CRUSH money menu!

After accounting for that and the rolling jackpot increasing to £252,000, here is your board:

Box 23 is yours and it's five to start with the 5-3-3-3-3-3-2 offer pattern you drew. GAME ON!

1,2,3,4,5 to start

Well how else were you going to start?

Box 1 - iPHONE! Nice way to ring in the start of a new game!

Box 2 - £25! Second-lowest cash amount gone.

Box 3 - £100, the red one! We like both of them gone and there's one.

Box 4 - £150,000! That, on the other hand, is a real red and a real blow.

Box 5 - £10! The lowest cash on this board, nice!

The Banker has to be worried the least you can have from the main game is £50, even if there's four prizes that stop you buying a 25 that gives you a 40% chance of over £5,000 from even the smallest win...

Box 14 - £35,000! Not the round you wanted...
