[Player's Room]
The PSA Starts with Lewis and Xion in the player's room
Hello, I'm Lewis from the Mermaid Princess RP Guild and this is Xion, a Mermaid Sister of Kairi & Namine.
Before we begin, here's some trivia. 1990 is the last Big Syndication & Network Time for the Game Shows which left Daytime or moved to Syndication at Nightfall. Most of them lasted until either their cancellation date or ended due to its decline.
This time, we'll be talking about Monopoly, a game that aired throughout Super Jeopardy. Since the Narrator couldn't make it to do the PSA, he sent me and Xi instead. Lewis said to the viewers and Xion
*Monopoly 1990: About*
Monopoly appears to be a board game to TV Game Conversion at first glance but its a fun game. Made by the Same Production Company such as Merv Griffin Productions & KingWorld, Monopoly is played with 3 players (Red, Yellow & Green) as they answer Crossword Clues to obtain Properties and their Values during the First Round, Collecting Rent in the Second Round and to win game for a shot at the Bonus Round worth $25K or $50K Prize.
The Residing Host of the Game is Michael Riley, who is a former Jeopardy Champion.
*Monopoly 1990: Gameplay for Round 1*
In the First Round, the players go around the board to collect properties by answering Crossword Clues one at a time that the host would read off. The Way the narrator plans to do the Crossword Questions is that each Property Color Section will start with a different letter rather than the corners on the game board in the actual show.
Correct Answers grant ownership of that property and adds the value to that player's score. However, if a Player is wrong, the value of that property is deducted from that Player's Score.
If no one answers by ringing in, another clue is read off but the value of the property is halved until a player answers. Should a player get the properties of a single color of that monopoly then the combined total of that monopoly is added to the player's score (Ex: 2 Purple Monopolies are worth $120).
However, if multiple players have control of the properties then a Showdown Face Off takes place to see which player takes control.
If its a Two Property Space then two players would Face Off in the Showdown to see who gets full control. A correct answer gives full control to that player, but a wrong answer gives full control to the other player.
If its a 3 Property Space, it depends on which player owns what property...
If 2 Properties are owned by one player then that player has to answer one more crossword clue correctly to take control while the other player has to answer 2 crossword clues. If all 3 players have a control of a Monopoly, the player with the correct answer can pick to go against to seize the property and that player would be locked out and that 2 vs 1 Property Showdown goes into effect.
After the first round, the players would then use the scores to purchase houses and hotels for Round 2. Houses cost them $50 & Hotels each cost them $250 each in the 1990 TV Game Lewis said to Xion and the viewers
*Monopoly 90: Round 2 Gameplay*
In the Second Round, the players would then spend their score on building houses and hotels on the Monopolies they obtained as they would increase their score by earning rental fees as the dice is rolled. The Person who owns that property gets a First Shot at the Crossword Clue. A Correct answer will score the rent and be added to the score. If not, the other players could steal the points by answering the Crossword Clue with a penalty of the score being deducted by the renal amount.
If a Utility was landed on, a Toss Up Crossword is asked for $100 times the amount that the dice was rolled.
The Tax Spaces work like the board game where the money is sent to the Free Parking Space which starts by $500 and increases by the Tax Spaces hit, if Free Parking is hit then the player would win what's in the Free Parking Space by answering a Crossword Clue.
If a player landed on a Railroad, it was a Hostile Takeover Question where the player answers a Crossword Clue then chooses which player to challenge for control of that Monopoly by answering 2-3 more Crossword Clues. If Successful, that Monopoly is taken over and its total value is added to the player's score. If that player misses, then that player pays the owner on the Monopoly that he or she was unable to capture.
At the end of Round 2, all the Houses and Hotels are sold off and its resale value is added to the players' score. The Player with the Highest Score after the Second Round, wins the game and advances to the Bonus Round. Lewis said to Xion and the viewers
*Monopoly 90: Endgame*
The Bonus Round had a High Rollers thing happening where the Champion places 4 Go to Jail Spaces on the Game Board, one on Sections 2-4 with the Go to Jail Primary Space still active. The Champion has 5 Dice Rolls to attempt one Revolution from GO and back again. Should they Pass GO, they win $25K but if they landed on GO, they win $50K. They can walk out with the amount of spaces passed with each of them being worth $100 each but if they landed on Go to Jail, they would lose the money obtained in the Bonus Round & no one has ever won $50K in that game during 1990 and its Limited Run Time on the airwaves.
