For the 2nd birthday show we saw for the first time the 'doubled-up' DOND board, but if you had that board instead of the standard one how would it change the way you play the game?

A lot of people have targets that once they reach they decide enough is enough, but if you had the board with double money on would your target change? Or would you still deal at your target?

The average figure that people seem to want is £20,000 to £30,000 which on a board like Saturday could easily be achieved quite quick, however the potential to win more is much bigger.

Of course it all depends on how long you keep the big numbers in play, but would you be more likely to deal at the 3rd offer stage where potentially you could get a massive offer.

It all depends if the Banker's offers doubled as well (which I suspect they wouldn't). If they did then target driven players (the majority) would deal earlier for sure and I'm sure there would be many more 3rd offer deals. Maybe even 1st or 2nd offer deals.

Personally I wouldn't budge whilst the £500k, £250k and £100k was still up on the board regardless of the offer.

But as we've already seen, having bigger prizes doesn't necessarily mean a big payout.

I'd still call the offers based on their generosity, which of course is all over the place at the best of times.

I don't think it's worth comparing it to how I'd play a £250k board, or indeed the £15k-£500k swap. It is what it is.

Oh, and basicasic, there's no £250k on this board! :D

I'd remain how I am at the moment - measuring up the offers against generosity for the board, as well as seeing how close they are to my target, as well as weighing up how stable the board is.

The offers should in theory double along with the board... but you can't guarantee that'll happen!! It'd be a bit stupid for me to double my target as well, but I'd be more willing to no deal amounts above my target with the possibility (in theory) of winning double than usual.

Hmm depends on the offers - they'd probably be messed around with though and not made that generous like Helen's game so it's tricky.

I can't be 100% sure of what I'd do, but I'd like to think I'd take advantage of the board and go that little bit further whilst the biggies are still there. But that is easier said than done!

It wouldn't change my style at all, not even a tripled or a quadrupled board would do that.

As with the normal board, I'd play the board and the offers and decide whether it was worth the risk of going on. However there's more chance on that board of seeing sums of money I'd find it very hard to turn down whatever the situation.

I still don't expect I'd seriously consider going at the first three offers - opening 3 boxes out of 11 is rarely going to totally destroy a strong game, so would take something ridiculously generous to get me at that stage. More chance of a testing fourth offer though, not sure whether I could turn down say £50k at that stage with a few blues still in play, whereas I'd be much more likely to risk £25k on a normal board at that stage.

Like what has been said I would look at the state of the board and compare the offer to what's on the board.

With many higher numbers available it would take a much bigger offer to make me say 'deal'.

I always consider the worst scenario and the best scenario at an offer, if the worst happened what would be left on my board? And am I willing to take the risk of declining a decent offer to hopefully double or even triple my money.

Of course it all depends on what's left on your board, but if I were to have the £500,000, £200,000 & £150,000 at least left on my board then the offer would have to be very high indeed.
