GAME PLAY:
        Category cards are shuffled and randomly distributed on the board.  Numbers represent the categories for each game, which are listed in the small book.  Matching questions are in the larger book.  Dollar values for questions are the same as on the show.  Avoid the devil in three "spins" of the prize round and win an extra $1000.

DIFFERENCES TO TV SHOW:
        In the main game, the only difference is that there are only three questions for each category, and if you run out, you must select from a different category, even if it means going off the board.  The prize round has no dollar values, only Jokers and Devils.  Your first "spin" is worth $100, your second is worth $400 and your third is worth $1000, as long as you avoid a Devil card.  You can stop and keep your money after either of the first two spins.

CHANGES IN LATER EDITIONS:
        BOX: Box design changed for the second edition.  The third edition looked the same as the second, with a dark blue background instead of light blue.
        CONTENTS:  Material for 72 new games in each edition.  Otherwise identical.

CHILDREN'S VERSION:
    Joker Joker Joker (MB 1979), released several years after the other editions, was similar to them except for the prize round.  This time, the round was more like the TV version.  Each deck of eight contained one devil and seven dollar values ($25, $50, $75, two $100 and two $200) and players would "spin" trying to reach $1000 for a bonus.

COMMENTS:
        The best feature of the box game was the question book, a handy set of categorized material that could be used with many other games.  The quality and difficulty of the material was similar to the show (i.e. a little on the easy side).  The worst feature was the cheap cardboard playing field.  To their credit, the distribution of the categories and Jokers seems about right, though seeing numbers instead of those familiar colorful category slides is a little dull.
