Did anyone else get the Wheel Watchers Club Email today about playing Wheel Bingo, complete with downloadable instructions? It just seems to be a play-on-your-own kind of thing for now (not interactive or on the site). I haven't read through the full instructions, but I'll be curious to see how it stacks up against BAVGO -- probably not even close! |

"Bankrupt & Lose-A-Turn: An unlucky spin for a contestant could be lucky for you!"
Think whoever wrote that was able to keep a straight face?

Yeah, I guess they color-coded to wedges like Graphix Zone did. If only they made $700 yellow and $500 purple.
BTW, I'm looking at the cards. I don't see any Bonus spaces on any of them.
Still, it shows a taste of what the Mystery Wedges are going to look like. Did anyone notice that?
Still, my big thing would be if Parker Brothers or someone revamped Tiger's 2004 Live Play game and maybe even gave it a feature that it can be played with every future episode until you-know-where freezes over. Hopefully, someone can pulls that off, but even if they did, I would still find it great to have the original unreleased 2004 version, or at least have someone here own it because that's a jewel. |

...It's a severely dumbed-down BAVGO. Have you no shame, Wheel? I think we've long since established the answer as being no.  It does seem like a fun way maybe to make watching more fun with the kids and grandkids, but it seems too easy. There are too many freebies, Exactly. A couple of elements (namely the "If Pat and Vanna are on your board, mark it when Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin or Vanna claps (that's almost like a freebie!)." line and "PUZZLE SOLVE" space) feel like the show's gently mocking itself. And is it just me or does the "Toss-up Win" space suggest that it only applies to the $1,000 one? On a more positive note, I noticed that Free Play has a green background, which reminded me of Free Spin so kudos for that. Even more interesting is that Lose A Turn doesn't actually look like it does on the show...and hasn't looked since Shopper's Bazaar. BTW, I'm looking at the cards. I don't see any Bonus spaces on any of them. Huh, you're right. Probably just a simple oversight, but given this game's all about "If this happens and that space is on your card, mark it!" and the space denoting "somebody solved the Bonus Round puzzle" isn't on any of the cards, I have to wonder... |
