Description

Plinko debuted as a reward for contestants who earned their chance to be on stage during the January 3, 1983 broadcast of the American version of “The Price is Right.” It has been adapted into a board game.

Players take turns quizzing each other about the prices of merchandise based on the various quizzes from the television series. Every correct answer earns the player one chip. At the end of the quiz, each player gets to drop their chips into the Plinko board where they may be worth $10,000 apiece!

The unit uses 3 “AA” batteries which activate lights, music, and sound effects but are not necessary for game play.
