If you noticed some weird cuts, its because Buzzr really didn't like me showing off Sale of the Century and claimed it. I'll be putting together an uncut version with all the footage soon.

@kamsandwich I have your answer on the $150,000 card. TL:DR? This game, short of the question book, is a nearly direct copy of the Australian version.
Our 80s Sale of the Century was actually an Australian import as a show- their version started in 1980 and we started airing our iteration in 1983. By the time this game came out around '86, Australia had already released their home version. Their show had a growing cash jackpot that started out at $50,000, but grew by $2,000 every day it wasn't won, so it often hit six figures- the big jackpot marquee that hung from the rafters on that show actually looks like the one on your card.
So yeah, it's a game breaker on two continents. But at least those cards can be removed to make the game more fair.
You should cover the other side.
@@jeremyenelson Thank you, I was confused by both the cash value and why it didn't seem to match the rest of the show's branding!
"board game game shows" I'm sorry wut?
Take that as a "yes"
how fucking dare they
also why do people like cc? it's by far one of the hardest gameshows
WHAT DO YOU _MEAN_ THEY DIDN'T MAKE A PLINKO BOARD. THAT'S THE _EASIEST ONE TO MAKE INTO A BOARD_ IT'S *_LITERALLY ALREADY A BOARD_*
I KNOW!
THEY COULD HAVE JUST PRINTED PAPER ONTO A CARBOARD, IT REALLY WASN'T THAT HARD
I bought a plinko like game called Drinko at a yard sale. Yes, it's a drinking game.
I had a plinko board at one point
its okay Fifty Years Later they got it right with a TARGET EXCLUSIVE BOARD GAME
As long as we're talking about Board Game adaptations of Game Shows, I wanna see you cover the opposite: Game Show adaptations of Board Games
I've found a Monopoly one, I wonder if they have one for Candyland
@@kamsandwich They slao did Scrabble
They have an entire show filled with board game minigames called family game night
While not a board game, I feel like Candy Crush should be added in as a bonus wtf as it's just wild they turned it into a gameshow.
@@kamsandwich They've done
-Trivial Pursuit (multiple times)
-The Game of Life
-Pictureeka
-The Reel to Reel picture show
The concept of Minute To Win It was brilliant. The “household items” thing was intentional; they encouraged people to recreate all of the games at home and practice. While this did eliminate the potential revenue of selling a board game version, it built up so much hype for the show that people would tune in to compare their own performances at home to the contestants.
I remember my school one year had a special festival/event day, and one of the activities was going to different classrooms and trying the Minute to Win It challenges they had set up
17:23 You know the producers had to spend time before the show getting all the contestants to promise they wouldn’t say “fucked” for this prompt.
That's how the game always is.
literally i think the big appeal of watching the show is the restraint that everyone is clearly putting themselves through NOT to say that. for most every prompt.
That's basically the game in general XD
"No, Germany, I will not play Quiz Taxi"
Me, as a German: *gasps* Understandable, carry on.
I'll say, in the videogame department, nothing beats Family Feud. Be it the braindead AI answering "car accidents" to "name things that come in pairs" or the high budget of a 2 second loop of Louie Anderson dancing, every version has its charm.
that's honestly the only charm that the most recent family feud game has, the braindead ai answers... until the braindead answers actually end up on the board
oh who can forget "nekkid grandma"
"the braindead AI answering "car accidents" to "name things that come in pairs"
... I kinda see the logic there. Kinda.
I know something that comes in pears: seeds.
@@basedeltazero714about the same logic as “hated neighbors”.
Some car accidents occur because a vehicle collides with a non-motorized object, or if a spontaneous vehicle failure occurs with the car. In those cases it needn’t “come in pairs”, as there can be a car accident involving one vehicle.
As for hated neighbors, it could be that one hates his neighbor and the other person is largely indifferent.
You know what? A trivia game but based on "Twenty-one", so you can cheat but if the cheater is discovered is discualification.

why did I laugh at this
I fell in love with Matchgame a while ago. Left it running on my phone as there is a youtube channel with all the episodes in order. Made my OCD brain all happy to go in order of an old show like that. It's a great game show that you don't have to watch, you can just listen to it. The host even mentions that in an episode, that a blind viewer wrote in thanking them for the show since they could mostly follow along unlike a lot of gameshows.
Well shoot, maybe Match Game isn't so bad after all
@@kamsandwichi think a lot of the appeal for me personally is that era of tv celebrities that they had on the show. they have great chemistry together!
Match game is honestly a little comfort of mine. It’s just so… homey. It’s like Quiplash but trying to match answers, and most of the celebs have a certain rapport.
You know, some games have already figured out the "host" problem--just have a rotating host between rounds (for instance, Cards Against Humanity has it so the winner of the previous round draws the Black Card.).
CAH transfers Cardczarship in a set order by default-transference by winning is a house rule called “Meritocracy”.

bro really is board game scott the woz
Real, especially because Scott has a game show video game episode

Terminally online people can't perceive the world around them in anything but references to other online things.

Extremely disappointed you didn't mention TV Scrabble, the board game game show board game
Sale of the Century Designers: Ok, we need one $50,000 card in the deck
Devs: Say no more
Homie you need, NEED, a PO BOX, so deranged folks of international locales can give you insane knockoff or just lesser known board games.
Is it bad that when the cruiser ship appeared on the board for $ale of the Century at 28:49, being a ship nerd, I had to go figure out what ship it actually was.
For anyone curious, it's TSS Fairstar. If anyone wants to feel old, she was scrapped in India in 1997.
EDIT: And it's shown on screen later in a higher resolution I'm a complete moron.
Do you know how much it would have been worth at the time?
I feel like board game Jeopardy would also somewhat quickly run into the issue of the trivia becoming outdated. I know a lot of people just buy board games to play them a few times and forget about them, but the point remains that your grandpa could have bought Monopoly to play with his family in the 60s and with a few lost pieces and a bit of fading on the cards, you could *still* be playing with that Monopoly set today.
25:26 RIP to headphone users
It took me off guard. I wish I found your comment sooner
right? i jumped lmao
you really think the 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐙𝐙𝐄𝐑 isn't going to be 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃?
I can't tell if that zoom in on the Tussy brand was you or the original show, but it made me laugh all the same
That was all them, genius stuff from the showrunners there
I can't wait for you to do the international version of this episode, where you tackle foreign game show board games.
Just imagine doing reviews of Family Fortunes, Catchphrase, Blankety Blank, The Crystal Maze, Tipping Point, Golden Balls, The Golden Shot, Telly Adicts, Az Kvíz, Blind Date... And that's just off the top of my head!
YESSSS, this would be great! Perhaps he could even include one of the Pointless board games that come with your own plastic version of the shows trophy!
Isn’t Blankety Blank just the British version of The Match Game though?
Though I would like to see him cover the Taskmaster board games
Was there ever a boardgame version of Bob's full house?
Don't forget Blockbusters, the UK hit version of a short-lived US show, which got one of the best board game adaptations ever!
I had a Fort Boyard board game as a child, and let me tell you, the people who complained about how awful the half-assed Fort Boyard video games were don't realise how much worse it could be.
The concept of the TV-show revolves so much on ambiance and contestants undertaking difficult and impressive physical feats or braving their fears in themed areas, trying to balance a spoon on your nose or holding your breath for a set length of time in your kitchen really doesn't scratch the itch.
Nowadays, they tend to give up the game show aspect of it and keep the setting and characters, building up on the lore to make escape board games, which I imagine work much better.
That buzzer sound burst my eardrums thanks for that. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.
Can we make it a class action lawsuit?
He'll be hearing but you won't

I was not expecting the [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER] at 25:26 and nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
“Someone has to spend the entire game not playing the game”
Just get a DM, we’re used to it
As someone who's watched a LOT of gameshows, it's fun to see which ones got turned into board games. It's even more fun to look at the bad ones.
22:55 Is it "Stockholm, Sweden"?
Yes it is!!!
Why did they take 37 years to release a board game version of Press Your Luck, a fairly popular game show in its first run that, by 2020, already went through two iterations, two hosts, and was a short time away from a third incarnation and host? It even had its own scandal when a guy racked up more than $100,000 in mid-1980s money by memorizing the Big Board patterns so he could keep going until he got tired of winning so hard! That game took two whole episodes!
That scandal is almost certainly the reason for the holdup. You thought Michael Larson had it easy watching reruns to memorize the board patterns? You'd literally have the board at home to study. Having a good random number generator might have been best done via internet connection (cutting costs in what you ship doesn't hurt, either).
They actually did plan on making one in 1986, but it got cancelled
Is no one talking about the transparent joke at 3:02? Absolute classic
25:26
I was trying to sleep, dawg 😭😭
That Weakest Link mask *immediately* made me think of the music video for Chemical Brothers' Let Forever Be.
And a certain british time traveler show
Supermarket Sweep would probably work really well as a video game, especially if someone were to make it in VR.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes etsgewhwgywgwywhywmakwthisnow
As a kid of the 1960's and 70's, I had home versions of Concentration, Eye Guess, Password, Hollywood Squares, Art Linkletter's House Party, and Match Game. I never had the Sale of the Century game, but was a contestant on the night time syndicated version in the early 80's.
Who else wants who else wants Kam talk more about game shows.
highkey me, i know it's not his channel niche but i love game show content so much
Game Shows are so fascinating to me, they got their start all the way back in classic radio and have been a throughline of television era culture ever since
this is the board game fan equivalent of Scott the Woz' Game show video games video. I'm gonna love this.
EDIT: I loved this
It bothers me that there's more board game versions of Supermarket Sweep than there are Press Your Luck.
they did plan on making one in the 80s but it never got released.
i was at an arcade and they had a press your luck cabinet! like a couple weeks ago!
@@ExperimentIVWhere? I love press your luck
@@satan6432 it was at a dave & busters outside of toronto
I feel like Match Game really just outmatched and bettered by the Drag Race parody that they do every season. A version thats strictly comedy and impersonation focused rather than an actual focus on the game element.
Also shout out to the Guy Fieri version of Supermarket Sweep, Guy's Grocery Games, that was "what if we made Supermarket Sweep into a cooking compeition."
It was a neat version of the gameshow and mentioning Supermarket Sweep reminded me of it.
I don't know who even watches that Drag Race crap, that show is disgusting
@@JohnathanWilliamson849People who aren't judgemental or prudes if I had to guess.
@@DeadHandtheSurvivor So I'm a prude for not watching a garbage show?
Thank you for giving some love to Supermarket Sweep. It is an absolute classic and I loved watching it as a kid. I didn't think it'd be in this video because... how do you make a board game out of it? But they certainly tried.
It's worth pointing out that the board game version of "Sale of the Century" shown here came out early in the show's run - the Instant Cash, Winner's Big Money Game didn't exist yet. The round was relatively new, and the question book used a final "century round" that the ORIGINAL "Sale of the Century" used.
Deal or No Deal is the Ace of Spades of game shows
By that it's unded?
"the first player to completely uncover cosby wins the game" is a sentence I could've lived my life without hearing
Classic Family Feud...I remember Richard Dawson in that one
oh man, Match Game...I remember Richard Dawson in that one
This vid actually got me thinking how the fictional Running Man board game would have worked from the titular movie...I remember Richard Dawson in that one
a hogan's heroes board game...I remember Richard Dawson in that one
In the film, one of the audience members is given the Running Man Home Game as a prize, so at least one (movie-prop) version of the game existed at one point in time
I always thought the Running Man home game would play like Scotland Yard, with one player moving the runner in secret and the others controlling stalkers.
Any carpet that gets people out of my house is worth its weight in gold.
OH NO A CHANNEL THAT DISCUSSES EVERYTHING IN MY WHEELHOUSE THERE GOES MY WEEKEND
All I could think the entire time is that it would have been so easy to make a DVD version of one of these games and let the tv be the host. It would have been so easy!
Some of them did. I own the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader DVD game featuring Gibby from iCarly. No, I'm not joking.
I have Press Your Luck 2006 on DVD, it's great!
@@Shades14 why did they pick Gibby out of all the characters?
My dumb brain mashed Shop Till You Drop and Mall Madness into the same IP and was confused when it didn't show up.
Basically the same TBH
“I hate Match Game!”
And I took that personally

Wheel's time in relation to Jeopardy varies depending on the area you're in. For instance, in the NY area, Jeopardy is at 7:00 and Wheel of Fortune is AFTER it, not before.

32:16 One of the people on the development team was *that guy* who cheats at every single game night.
21:00 This clip was from an actual game show, "Child's Play", hosted by Bill Cullen. It was actually a very amusing premise for a game show.
Deal or no Deal will only ever work as a boardgame if they include a mini cloned Howey Mandel in each box.
Stockholm Sweden. I love those sorts of puzzles
I'm surprised that a lot of these games that require a host to work don't just have players take turns being the host-the first game I can think of that does this is Trial By Trolley, where players split into two teams with one "judge" (similar to a host), then each member of the winning team for that round gets one token, and the "judge" role is passed on to the next person with the team divide cycling as well. The winner of the game is the one with the most tokens, i.e. the person who was on the winning team most often.
you missed the perfect opportunity to play the losing horns when revealing the Big “Wheel” spinner
I had the Concentration board game way back when I was young. Sadly, it really never saw any use, and I eventually went through and just solved all the rebus puzzles separately. There was a lot more setup involved in getting a game ready to go than anyone I played games with was really used to, so by the time we got all the little prize cards and cover slides in place, we had at least two people ready to go do something else.
9:20 Giving Homelander vibes
We never had cable so as a kid I didn't know that Deal or No Deal was even a game show, I just knew it was my favorite arcade game to play at the laser tag place whenever I went there for a classmate's birthday party.
They made _Press Tour Luck_ into a board game in 2020? Well, heck, EVERYONE was bored THAT year. We had to do SOMEthing!
It was a DVD game in 2006!
For the record on Sale of the Century, when the Cash Jackpot was added, it was a progressive jackpot that started at $50k and then went up $1k every time it went unclaimed. The largest cash pot in the US version was $109,000.
As an Aussie, Sale Of The Century was the biggest game show in the 80s, which carried over somewhat to the 90s.
The host was a wannabe crooner Tony Barber. He hosted the modestly successful Jeopardy version in Australia, but Sale Of The Century was by far the longer running and more popular show.
I remember playing the game in the 80s. I don't think the same mechanics were in our version
Honestly this video taught me that Sale of the Century exists and looks awesome honestly
Just get the most theater kid of your friends to be the host and they'll eat it up
All this game show talk just reminds me of that scene from Matilda where she blows up the tv
25:25 RIP Headphone users
Also, why tf are there windows with skyscrapers in the overly spacious "high security vault"?

Sir I must inform you that is clearly not a pencil...

7:53 That took me a second. That was brilliant
Deal or No Deal will only be a good board game when someone figures out how to put the lunacy of Howie Mandel in a box.
now this one just wants to see an MXC/Takeshi's Castle board game
Oh I remember watching Millionaire all the time when I was a kid, I loved Regis-
What the hell is Jeremy Clarkson doing here?
I can’t wait for deal or no deal: the board game: the video game, ps vita edition
the extremely loud incorrect buzzer both jumpscared me and gave me a headache because i use cast to tv
Thank you Hollywood Squares Alf for bringing Mr. Gameshow.
Of course you're a $ale of the Century guy. Watched so many of these, it was a wild game... but it also fell apart in situations where one player was rolling, which happened a lot more often than just the one guy who made it to TH-cam.
mostly unrelated, but having never watched Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, flipping the channel onto it just before a middle aged dude yelled "chloroform!" at a group of middle schoolers after getting asked what the green stuff plants use was. certainly a moment. 😂
I had a lot of these game show board games when I was younger, though being a UK resident most of them were based off the UK versions, here's what I remember of them:
Family Fortunes: What we call Family Feud here (because the name sounded too violent), but I had like two versions of this game. The more modern one had a big board where you would write the top answers (and on the other side the Fast Money/Big Money answers) and the older one had you writing it on paper. Both included a electronic button which played the iconic EH-EH sound whenever someone gave a wrong answer, though the other one had other buttons (I think there were buttons for the face off, and I remember there being buttons that timed the Big Money rounds)
Deal or No Deal: Basically it just worked like the TV show, though it was much better than the US version at it: basically on the center you had a telephone with buttons representing the cash values. For each box you take out, you press the respective button representing the cash value inside. After each round the banker would call and you'd see his offer on the telephone's small LCD screen, and you'd be given a small timeframe to accept it. A bit more tension there There was also a card game, which also resulted in barely any suspense.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: we had the same 2000 version, though I personally had more experience with the 2010s release, which had 12 questions (as the show did at that point). But the 2020s release I currently had also had 12 questions (despite the 2018 revival it was based on using 15 questions) and uniquely has you scanning QR codes to get the Ask the Audience results on your phone. There was also an electronic game in the early 2000s, voiced by the host Chris Tarrant: you had a bunch of question cards you'd insert into the machine (and punch in the code for it) and using the code it'd be able to tell you if you were correct.
Now for the ones based on shows not mentioned here:
Countdown: this is a game show that has 2 contestants playing anagrams and trying to reach a target number with limited numbers at hand. It's a simple game to play at home, and a simple game to make a board game. The version I had didn't infortinately contain the famous Countdown clock (and music to go with it) but other versions contain it.
Pointless: game show about getting the most obscure answers based on the responses of 100 people. Has a slip you use to contain the answers, and everyone has a piece they use to slide down the Pointless board. Can't say I remember much.
Catchphrase: a game show about getting idioms or whatever from computer generated animations. The latter part makes the game not that good to play at home, and usually they end up being simple as hell. I had a card game of this, and it used screencaps of the animations from the show. It was awful. It works much better for video games, but oddly enough the show has only gotten DVD game and mobile games adaptations. Never anything on an actual console.
Bullseye: I actually didn't own this one but this basically boiled down to throwing darts and answering trivia questions.
That match game clip was actually pretty funny I wish he kept the banter
There needs to be one for de Grote Donorshow where people compete for a kidney.
Michael McDoesn'texist mentioned!
I've been on Wheel of Fortune. I never once touched a board game of the show. And I won.
Wait, Kids Say The Darnest Things was real? I thought it was just a joke they made on Family Guy
As someone who has grown up watching game shows ALL the damn time and even still, that price is right game absolutely shattered me a bit
Look at how they massacred my boy!!!
For the jeopardy game... why cant the person that answers first check? If theyre right they reveal and if wrong the others can answer.
I think Match Game would have worked fine as a board game if you had players acting as the panel. The only problem is how long it would take for every player to get a turn to play.
Thanks for informing me of so many game shows I had never heard from before. I'm definitely checking some of them out.
I'll also keep this video in mind if I ever stumble upon these board game versions. Some of these would be a blast to play with my family and friends.
Now we gotta meld the last two videos together and talk about Game Show DVD Games.
Ok so my family loved deal or no deal the tv show growing up. We got a version of the deal or no deal board game, and it was a great look, it was a metal case that looked like a case from the show. Awesome set up, great props. Only one problem; THE CASE VALUES WERENT EXCHANGEABLE. so after playing once, you knew what the case values were forever. Case 6 always had the million dollars. It had so many great accessories and it was ruined because the case values were hard-coded. Lmao
0:02 average plot for a regular show episode
The low quality is what happens when the play at home version is meant to just get the losers not to sue the studio.
I remember an electronic board game version of deal or no deal that still gave you a button cover to close, a digital banker, but unfortunately no fake phone to answer instead just playing a phone ringing sound. There is also an electronic board game wheel of fortune that is just a good wheel. A lot of problems can be solved using electronic board games.
Great video! It would be cool to see you do some British game shows next - ton of great shows like Catchphrase have board game varients that i think you'd enjoy :)
He should talk about how bad the board game of The Million Pound Drop is (not saying the show is bad, but the board game is the worst I’ve seen)
My mental health has been bad these past few weeks (life got really hectic all of a sudden) and having this video on in the background really helps
So Deal Or No Deal is kinda like Ace Of Spades in that regard. An extremely simple and arbitrary draw that's up to the host to make it feel like a life-or-death decision.
Solution to Sale of the Century: keep the winner card values the same, but once the game is over, adjust everything to modern inflation.
The wheel of fortune wheels ☠️☠️
oh yes. I remember Supermarket Sweep. Now I want to sail the stormy seas and watch it again.
As a kid, if I wasn't in school I was either watching quiz/game shows (either modern stuff or reruns of older shows on Challenge which seems to be the UK version of Buzzr) or playing board games so you KNOW I was a sucker for these kind of game. Every year my Christmas list would be full of every single one I could find in that years Argos catalogue.
It was interesting seeing what American quiz/game shows are out there, and how some overlap with the ones here in the UK. Some have the same title (such as Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, Supermarket Sweep, and Deal or No Deal) whilst others are the same premise but with a different title (Match Game becoming Blankety Blank, Card Sharks becoming Play Your Cards Right, Hollywood Squares becomes Celebrity Squares, and most famously, Family Feud becomes Family Fortunes.) There are also a few which are similar to shows we have but aren't quite the same (Minute to Win It is reminiscent of The Cube and Classic Concentration is pretty much Catchphrase with extra steps)
Going back in time I have the home editions (1 and 2) from 1960 for Tic Tac Dough which has good play based on the show. Other old shows converted to board games include Concentration, Video Village, and Shenanigans. I have seen a home version of Beat The Clock and used to have the home editions of Password. And yes, I'm old.
Wait. Is Wheel of Fortune before Jeopardy? I think it must be regional, because here in NC Jeopardy is on at 7 and Wheel of Fortune is on at 7:30
It's regional. When i'm in the charlotte area, it's J! at 7, Wheel 7:30; but in Greenville SC it's Wheel then J!.
And then there’s markets like Chicago, where Jeopardy airs at 3:30 and Wheel goes on at 7:30
@@ganrice2984 ah, that makes sense. I am from Charlotte actually, so that's the exact right thing
