Based on this years surprise hit TV show, Golden Balls The Game. The game is a mixture of luck, intuition and bluff and is not to be confused with the film, the footballer or an online casino.

This game is based on the ITV1 show, hosted by the comedian Jasper Carrot, that became a firm favourite with tea-time viewers. It is a psychological game where the money is big, but the losses are bigger. Sounds a bit like Deal or No Deal for 2007?

If you are not familiar with the format here goes:

100 balls have values on them ranging from a tenner to £75,000. 12 balls are removed from the bank and 4 ’killer balls’ are added and dealt randomly between 4 players. 2 balls are visible to all players, but 2 remain secret with the ’owner’. In turn each player gives away the value of their ’secret ball’ – but are they bluffing? The players must then vote who to eliminate. This continues and the aim is to get rid of players who have ’killer balls’ but keep the jackpot money at a high level. Those with low value balls need to bluff their way to keep in the game.

I’m sure it’ll become obvious once you start playing it anyway. I love the twist at the end which is a little like scissors, paper, stone. The final 2 players have to chose Split or Steal. Both chose split, the money is shared between them. Both say Steal, both go home with nowt, if one says Split and the other says Steal, the ’stealer’ wins it all – brilliant! Which one would YOU go for?

Each game is guaranteed to be different from the last. It is a bit of a weakest link/deal or no deal hybrid but it is a firm favourite and the game is sure to to be a winner for christmas too.
