Take Two

A simple game on The Price is Right played for four prizes, in the same vein as Danger Price or Race Game.

A “target price” is shown, along with four prizes. The contestant must choose which two prizes when totaled together will equal the target price. If they fail on their first attempt, they get a second chance, and may use either or neither of the prizes selected on the first try. If they can hit the target price exactly, they win all four prizes!

Take Two is a decent blend of pricing knowledge, and strategy. It isn’t played frequently, but it’s always a treat when it comes up.
