Pressman's New 4th Edition

^ To answer your question, wheelman97 , I'd actually stylize the Wheel used in the 2008 Disney Edition if I was the lead designer at Pressman. Instead of having those prongs in the center of each add-on wedge, I'd put them at the top and bottom.

As for what I'm expecting when it comes to addons, I'd expect $2500 (in sapphire instead of lavender) and $5000 (in silver instead of white and with black numbers instead of red) for two. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wild Card, Mystery Wedges and the Express make it. In fact, I think the Express would be perfect for a board game adaption of Wheel. I don't want to be too expectant of Prizes, Gift Tags and 1/2 Car Tags in spite of all those $500 spaces. I don't expect a yellow $900 for Round 3. :lol: What I'd really be surprised over would be if the Million Dollar Wedge made it especially considering Pressman never had a Bonus Round as part of its official rules. Besides, they'd have to make a second Wheel for Bonus Rounds (and perhaps a third for Million-Dollar Bonus Rounds) that may have to conceal the Bonus Round amounts.

Getting back to the 4th Edition, Pressman has always stated in their prior editions that the player loses the following turn when a player lands on Lose A Turn (I don't know if they will here), and I think I know where they're coming from. I admit I've become less satisfied with Lose A Turn being called such. I personally felt "Lose Turn" (like Sharedata and GameTek originally named it), "Lose Your Turn," or maybe even "End Turn" (like in the PC game Lexi-Cross) or would've been better candidates for a name, and here's why. What do the show mean by a turn exactly? The turn you have already have? A following turn? Your opponent's turn? A turn that takes place the following round? Which turn would it be? At the same time, why would Pressman state you "lose the following turn" as part of the rules when in fact that such a thing has never happened on the show?

Now one more thing, and it regards MarioGS ' question about Free Play. I'm most expecting the rules to be the exact same as the original Free Spin space. I'm still expecting Free Play tokens to be included here. I remember Pressman changed the design of the Free Spin tokens for the Simpsons and Disney edition, and based on that, I believe that's simply what they're going to do here (just a redesign), especially considering that the show's rules of Free Play may seem a little complex to put into an instruction booklet and may be difficult to understand for those who don't follow the show as much as others do. For us, however, the nice thing is that we know the rules of Free Play and that we also know that not all the rules provided in the instruction booklets of some board games necessarily have to be followed. Besides, a ton of rules have changed numerous times in the history of Wheel.

If Pressman does include Free Play tokens, we don't have to use them. If we do, we can certainly use them as Free Spin tokens or in the style those Free Play "tokens" used on that one Facebook game, meaning before spinning the Wheel, we can use them if we're not sure of a specific letter or of the puzzle's solution. Free Play's rules can still apply. For me personally, however, these Free Play tokens would make a nice addition to my very unique Wheel of Fortune collection along with the spinner card. They are the two big reasons why I'm looking forward to getting this game. In fact, I may even want to get two copies.
