Steve reads what's on the board, and on his path is a bonus 200 waiting for him to fill in the blank.
All he can think of is foot. Rob wants to know what a "foot deck" is. The blank is flight.
But that puzzle's behind us, and now Steve could be flying towards a Jager skin care collection, a Series 500 12-month car care supply, or a Yashica Zoomate camera.
Steve flies for the camera.
