If you're old enough to remember Derek Beatty, but young enough to still have your own teeth, Mr & Mrs is definitely a game for you.Based on the immensely popular 70s TV show, the game is sure-fire way to bring toil and trouble to otherwise calm relationships.
The concept is as simple as its on-screen counterpart: one partner is asked questions about the other, and both must agree to score points. "How often does your partner weigh themselves?" will strike fear into many men's hearts, and "At what age did he start shaving?" is a question many women may not be able to answer accurately. Some questions are divided in "man" and "woman", while others are suitable for all. Depending on the number of players, the host is either an individual or a team, and "partners" do not have to be the same gender, or even a partnership in the traditional sense: mothers and daughters can play sisters and brothers, and so on. The key, however, is that you know your partner well enough to engage in an honest appraisal of their character and habits. The first partner to be asked writes down their answer, and these are compared to the second partner's answers to see if points are scored. All points are kept centrally by the host(s).
Simple, fun and often controversial, this game is guaranteed to bring chaos to any tranquil household, the like of which has probably not been since the game "Scruples" was so popular in the early 90s. --Susan Naylor

Ask the audience what they think of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Junior, and the answer certainly won't be 50-50. They'll love it.This is the Junior version of the hit television game show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? It's aimed at 8 to 12 year olds and is suitable for 2-5 players.
Players take turns to act as question master while the others try to win more and more money by answering fun questions. Players use their own hand-held display modules containing the questions and the object of the game is to be the first player to win a million pounds, or to be the wealthiest player after a pre-determined number of rounds.
As on television, if a player gets stuck for an answer, lifelines can be used-"50-50" (the question master deletes two incorrect answers and the player chooses one from the remainder); "Ask the Audience" (other players show what they think the answer is--hopefully); and, of course, you can still "Phone a Friend." (telephone not included)
This is a perfect introduction to the adult version and it creates an opportunity for younger players to experience the tension and excitement of being either the question master or a participant in this very popular game. The question cards are pitched at a good level for this age group, and they can be used with those from the adult edition if desired. Great fun for pre-teens who want to have a go at the game, but would find the adult edition too difficult. --Susan Naylor
Contents: 600 cards (580 question/answers cards, and 20 Ask the Audience/Phone a Friend cards), 5 Question and Answer Display Modules; money; 15 Lifeline tokens and an excellent rules of play sheet which is thorough and easy to follow.

Ask the audience what they think of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire? II" and the answer certainly won't be 50-50: they'll love it.Based on the hit TV show that has pulled record audience figures around the world, the game is much as it is onscreen: you must answer increasingly difficult general knowledge questions in sequence, without getting any wrong, to win larger and larger amounts of money (in this case, fictional cash!). You have three lifelines, 50-50, Ask the Audience and even Phone A Friend, but once they're gone you're on your own. The questions in this new version have been updated, so even addicted players of the first edition will have plenty to go at.
Cards replace Chris Tarrant and a board replaces the TV studio, but otherwise the atmosphere can be every bit as electric as the real thing. So go on, give it a try. You may just be the next paper Millionaire! --Sophie Lowe
Each of these games contains a "golden ticket", giving the holder a chance to win a visit to the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" studio to meet Chris Tarrant and play the game for real.

If you've ever wanted to stage a full-scale reproduction of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? at home--or, maybe, down your local--you're now in luck. Together with the quiz book, this official soundtrack leaves you wanting only for a Chris Tarrant stand-in--and judging by our mates, it's not that hard to find a punter with a creditable impression. At 76 tracks, this CD collects every synth-pop musical cue on the show, plus a radio edit and club mix (!) of "Is That Your Final Answer?", which begs the question of whether a collection can be too complete. It may take a dedicated fan to stick with it, but the eight enclosed question cards could save your next family re-union. --Lee Mazzilli
