Sale of the Century
Out Of Stock
Description
Based on the popular TV show of the same name. Players are asked general knowledge questions and race to come up with the right answer. Right answers win money, wrong ones lose it. At several points throughout the game, players are offered the chance to buy discounted merchandise using the money they have built up. The catch is that no player knows just how valuable the item is, only that it is offered at less than full value. After fifteen questions, the player with the most money can either buy a more expensive prize with their winnings, or keep their money in hopes of winning again, and being able to buy something even better. After each person has had a chance to host, the player with the most money and merchandise is the winner. Sale of the Century was also released in 1986, with an electronic lockout system, and bigger prizes to play for. - BoardGameGeek
