This is a boardgame version of the ABC TV program Number Please. If more than two players, players form two teams to play against one another. Players receive $5000 fake money, a 24 square playing rack and 24 shutters valued at 0 to $1000. Each team selects a word or phrase for the other team to guess. The mystery word or phrase is secretly entered letter by letter with a wax pencil onto the 24 square rack and then the squares are covered with the shutters. Players strategically place the shutters and the shutter value is secret.The players then take turns calling out numbers to be revealed on their opponent's rack. Players must pay out ( to the opponent) the value on the shutter they call out. When a player thinks he can guess the phrase, he may do so, earning $1000 for a correct guess, forfeiting $1000 for an incorrect one.Plays continues until five phrases have been guessed or someone runs out of money. The player with the most money wins - BoardGameGeek
