Yes, and new to the list will be a line of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader," products from various manufacturers. The following link will show you a card game from Cardinal, which also features a CD of questions, contained in a carrying case like DOND, and 1 VS 100 card games.

Oh, I also saw the new 1 VS. 100 electronic game at Linens-N-Things today for $39.99! I haven't bought it yet, since I'm waiting for my paycheck, and seeing if it goes "on sale," for less. |

Well hey, if enough game shows keep coming out, eventually you'll be able to collect your own set of 26 mini-briefcases for about $260. Then just invite over 26 of your favorite hot model friends and, um... yeah, I got nothin'.
Anyway, beside the novelty of the case, those Cardinal card games are poorly-conceived, half-arsed home games churned out for the quick buck. They're only useful as props for a game show party or for surplus questions. I'm intrigued to see how the tabletop 1 vs. 100 turns out. The Pressman board game is surprisingly well-executed, with a fully fleshed-out set of rules and decent materials. (And this coming from a company that can only fit 5 categories on a Jeopardy! board.) |

You know, if you really wanted to duplicate the DoND experience (maybe as a classroom exercise or something), you could probably do a lot worse than starting with 26 of those little things. For a while, the NBC website was selling the actual model of briefcase they use on the show, but they were $90 each. |

For a while, the NBC website was selling the actual model of briefcase they use on the show, but they were $90 each. It would be kinda cool to do have 26 small cases and play a classroom version of the game. The way classrooms are now, there'd be the possibility of having 27 kids in a math class...26 "models", the contestant, and teacher for host/banker. NBC doesn't sell the cases anymore. But for the completely authentic experience, you gotta get the phone. IIRC, though, it was like $350. /NBC does sell earrings that the models wore.... |

You can get the same model briefcase from the manufacturer for the low Sale of the Century price of $69.95. To self: Snag one of the 1 vs. 100 games for the classroom; it's one of a handful of shows most of my students enjoy. |
