Gaming Zone #62 - Twisted Topical Warfare

To end 2011, we are playing Topical Warfare with a twist.....we are playing it like the ABC game show You Deserve It but with a twist.....the first 4 puzzles will be worth $ 25,000 maximum, the next 4 will be worth $ 50,000 maximum, the next 4 will be worth $ 100,000 maximum, the next 4 will be worth $ 250,000 max, and after that the puzzles are worth $ 500,000 max.  The plyers will be given the topic of the answer (Who, What or Where) and 1 clue for free.  Then the player will choose one of 10 envelopes.  The value in the envelope will be the COST of the clue from the value of the puzzle.  Now the player who picked the envelope can solve the puzzle or pass.  Each player will have just 1 guess for each puzzle.  If the player passes, the other players can try to steal the puzzle by guessing.  However, for each player who incorrectly guesses the puzzle, will earn nothing and DOUBLE the value of the remaining pot and values in envelopes still in play.  The player who has the most money after 2 hours wins.
