Rules of the Game
Four female contestants, including a returning champion competed for using prizes as the playing cards. The contestants were seated around an 8-space spinner (an LED display designed like a game board spinner). Each contestant was given an up-prize with dollar-value announced to start the game.
Announcer Johnny Jacobs announced another prize but not the dollar value. Lange then read a general-knowledge question. The first to respond correctly won five spaces on the board while her opponents each got one space.
At that point, the LED spinner went into motion; the player signified when she wanted to stop the spinner by pressing her buzzer. Wherever the spinner landed, the player controlling that space could either keep the prize or pass it to one of her opponents. Play then repeated in the same manner with a new prize described.
The idea was to build a prize package of as close to $5000 without going over. Since they did not know the total retail value of their prizes, a player could freeze at any point if she thought she was close to the $5000 limit, knowing she couldn't receive any more prizes. The player who had the package that was closest to $5000 won her prize package – the others lost their gifts – and advanced to the bonus round.
Bonus Round
The champion was given 1 final spin and if the arrow landed in a pre-selected space (a 1-in-8 shot), they won $5000 plus the other prizes that their opponents had received during that game (usually about $10,000-$15,000). A player competed for up to five days or until reaching CBS's $25,000 limit.
