24 boxes. Three boards of eight - green, grey, and gold. You can't win from them all, but don't be sad... 'cause two out of three ain't bad!

Here's the randomised draw for those boards in this one:

1p
£1
£250
£750
£10,000
£15,000
£150,000
£250,000

10p
£5
£10
£1,000
£3,000
£35,000
£50,000
£100,000

50p
£50
£100
£500
£5,000
£20,000
£25,000
£75,000


Interestingly set up, I like the look of this! You don't have your own box, and there are offers at 5- and 2-box on each board, so pick three to open now and we'll take it from there!

Boards look reasonably balanced with no bad boards there, but it's the green board that's looking the best I think.

I'll start with boxes 3, 5 and 15.

3 - £750! And that's one low one from the best of the boards!
5 - £500! The weakest of the boards also gets a bit stronger with that...
15 - £250! Fantastic start!

Pick one more, if it's green we're in for a potential big offer...

4 - £10,000 and that will do!

1p
£1
£15,000
£150,000
£250,000


The problem the Banker has here is that with three of the first four being off this board, the risk of you being unable to exploit this board is pretty limited, so he can't lowball you like he normally would on the best remaining board...

BANKER'S OFFER

£35,000



Power 5 offer after four boxes!!

With both the £250k and £150k still to play for on that board, I think I'm going to have to no deal it, though the guarantee of going away with at least £35k was a generous opening.

2, 12 and 6 next.

You never have to do anything in this game!

2 - £250,000! And on that evidence, you certainly didn't have to do that.
12 - £150,000! Astonishing. That is how quickly the game can turn... now you're scrambling for £15k on green and whatever you can on just one of the other boards.
6 - £15,000!!

Speechless. That's not even a 0.1% chance...

1p
£1


To stop you chasing the remote dream of keeping both of those greens long enough for you to escape from both other boards, he has to go over the mean - but by how much, though?

 BANKER'S OFFER 

A cuddly toy

So about £15-£25 worth of cuddly toy, then... But an excellent choice of small cuddly toy. And the rate I'm going I'm kind of expecting to hit green before getting another offer on another board.

Deal.

1, 16 and 8 please.

A CUDDLY TOY! Now, for all we know you could still win a life-changing sum of money here...

1 - £1,000. Wow, I forgot that board existed!
16 - 10p! Nice to be reminded of it! Suddenly a 50% chance of at least £35k being left at the end of that, though there's always the risk we run out of gold first...
8 - £25,000! That really did not help us...

One more, and if it's not green we get an offer.

This is getting even worse...

£5
£10
£3,000
£35,000
£50,000


There's still £75k on gold, accompanied by £20k, £5k, and three small ones.

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,000

18 - £35,000! This game...
7 - £50,000! This... game...
21 - £50! We've got the first gold offer, sadly after decimating grey...

50p
£100
£5,000
£20,000
£75,000


With the likelihood that you'll have been lumbered with a grey win before you get to 2-box on this...

BANKER'S OFFER

£3,500

I don't see a way this game isn't going to continue in the way it's currently going; It feels unlikely I'll get three golds before two greys, and that's what I'd need (Not to mention, the need to get the right golds) to do here. So... Deal.

Proveout order of 11 9 20 14 17 23 13 24 22 in case it needs to go that deep.

£3,500 and a cuddly toy is what you leave with!

11 - £100! Perfect start for the decision you didn't make. Again.
9 - £3,000! That's more like it...

£5
£10


BANKER'S OFFER
WOULD'VE BEEN

£3,000



20 - £20,000! That would've been bizarrely positive, and meant it'd come down to finding 50p or £5,000 before a grey or £75k...
14 - £5,000! Like that!

50p
£75,000


BANKER'S OFFER
WOULD'VE BEEN

£8,000



17 - £10 and that leaves only the £5 on that board! Had you not Dealt, that's what you'd have won alongside the cuddly toy!

(23 - £1
13 - 1p
24 - £75,000
22 - 50p)
