Gambit (Game Show)

Based on the 20th century game show, Gambit. Where two teams of two compete to win cash and prizes, along with a chance to win a jackpot of no less than $50,000.

Primary Game
Two teams of two compete in the format of blackjack. (An ace counts as 1 or 11 points, a ten, Jack, Queen, or king counts as 10 points each.) That means the team that gets 21 points or nearest to the number without going over, wins a game.

The host asks Questions (Multiple Choice, True or False, or General knowledge) to the teams. The team that buzzes in and gets it correct gets control of the card to be drawn. Of course, if the team gets it wrong, or take too long answering, their opponents get control of the card to be drawn. If they want to, they could add the card to their board, or their opponents’. The team feeling they might bust, or they think their score is high enough can freeze, but their opponents must answer questions correctly to gator cards to their board.

The conditions for winning are 1. getting 21 points entitling them $5,000. 2. Their opponents going over 21. 3. Freezing, and their opponents getting a question wrong or going over 21. 4. Their opponents freeze, but getting a higher score, as long as they don’t go over. To go to the bonus round, one team has to win a match, equal to two games.

Bonus Round (The Gambit Galaxy)
The winning couple goes to face the Gambit Galaxy, complete with 24 numbered squares. Each number they select, contains a cash value or a prize, and the team draws a card. After reaching 12 points, the team has the option to stop, because if they go over 21 points, the bonus prizes are lost. If the team get a 21 exactly, the team wins $50,000.
