ABOUT THE CARDS

CARD CODE – used to identify the game card to the game unit

Every game card is double-sided with 15 questions on each side. The code on the

front of every card is odd, the code on the back is even. When inserting a new card,

it is important to always start with front facing you.

ABOUT THE LCD

The LCD will display the information you need during the game.

During a regular round

SOUND – the selected volume level

TIMER – will count down to zero

QUESTION VALUE – the value of the current question

PLAYER NUMBER – which player should be answering

BANK VALUE – the amount of money banked during the round

At the end of a round

TOTAL – the cumulative bank total from all rounds

If the team reaches the $125,000 target, the $125,000 icon will

appear on the screen.

FRONT BACK

125000

The game cards that are labeled HEAD TO HEAD

are for use in the Head-to-Head and Sudden

Death rounds only. They should be separated

from the regular round cards before you

start the game.

Game cards can be stored in the base of

the unit when not being used.

OBJECT OF THE GAME

The goal of all players is to answer enough questions correctly, within the time allowed,

to reach the $125,000 target for the round. There are two ways to do this.

The fastest way to reach the $125,000 target is to build a chain of eight (8) consecutive

correct answers. However, if a player passes or answers incorrectly, the chain is

broken and you lose all money in that chain.

The question values increase as follows:

$ 1,000

$ 2,500

$ 5,000

$ 10,000

$ 25,000

$ 50,000

$ 75,000

$125,000

The other way to reach the $125,000 target is to bank smaller amounts of money

during the round. When you bank your winnings, you start a new chain.

NOTE: Question values are not cumulative. If the team correctly answers

three (3) consecutive questions their total is $5,000, not $8,500.

At the end of each round, players vote for the player whom they think is the weakest

link. The player with the most votes leaves the game. The remaining players move

to the next round. This is repeated until only two players remain.

The last two players participate in the “double money” round. This is played like

all previous rounds, but gives the players one last chance to build the pot. All

money banked by the players during the round will be doubled and added to the

cumulative total.

Finally, the two players must face off in the Head-to-Head round. Alternately, each

player is asked five (5) special head-to-head questions. The player with the most

correct answers is the winner. If there is a tie, the game goes into Sudden Death.

In the Sudden Death round, each player is asked one question. As long as both

players answer correctly, or incorrectly, the game continues. As soon as one player

answers correctly and one answers incorrectly, the game is over.

BANKING

Only money that is “banked” is added to the cumulative total. How and when a player

can bank will be explained later.

VIRTUAL PLAYERS (VPs)

The game unit always follows the eight-player format of the television show. Often,

there will not be eight human players available, so the remaining player positions will

be filled with virtual players. The VPs will answer questions, bank and vote just like

the human players. A VP's knowledge and characteristics will be decided randomly

at the beginning of the game.

Virtual player knowledge

VPs will have varying levels of intelligence:

High knowledge level

Average knowledge level

Low knowledge level

The VPs will maintain their set levels of knowledge during a game. This will allow

human players to identify the VPs not worth keeping. Those that are useless should

be voted out.

Virtual player characteristics

A player’s character is an important factor in the Weakest Link. Voting decisions are

not based solely on the performance of the other players, but involve personal

motivation – Is a player “ruthless”? Does he carry a grudge against another player

from round to round? Therefore, characteristics have been created for the VPs.

Ruthless – Tends to vote out the strongest link, sees this person as a personal threat

Logical – Tends to vote out the weakest link based on statistical data

Indecisive – Will randomly select a player regardless of current or previous performance

During the game, the actions of the VPs are automatic. They will have a voice; you

will hear them answering questions, banking and giving reasons why they voted for

other players. Remember, they may be only virtual players, but they CAN vote for

YOU as the weakest link!

“LET’S PLAY THE WEAKEST LINK!”

Each game has six (6) regular rounds, one (1) Double Money round and one (1)

Head-to-Head round.

The regular rounds are fast paced question and answer rounds. The goal of each

round is to reach the $125,000 target before the timer runs out. At the end of each

regular round, one player is voted off and 10 seconds are subtracted from the clock.

Round 1 2 minutes 30 seconds 8 players

Round 2 2 minutes 20 seconds 7 players

Round 3 2 minutes 10 seconds 6 players

Round 4 2 minutes 5 players

Round 5 1 minute 50 seconds 4 players

Round 6 1 minute 40 seconds 3 players

The last two players play the Double Money Round. This is also a fast paced question

and answer round. At the end of this round, all money banked in the round is

DOUBLED before it is added to the prize total, no one is voted off and no time is

subtracted from the timer.

Double Money Round 1 minute 30 seconds 2 players

The last two players also play the Head-to-Head round. Players take turns answering

five questions each. There is no timer. The player who answers the most questions

correctly is the winner.

Turn on the game by pressing ON/OFF.

You can adjust the volume control by pressing the SOUND button. There are three

volume levels. They are indicated on the LCD by the speaker icon.

One line represents the lowest volume; three lines represent the

highest. Each time you press the SOUND button, the unit will scroll

to the next level.

After welcoming you to the game, Anne will ask the players to press a number button.

Players can choose any number; they do not have to be consecutive. However, there

can be only one player per player number. Virtual players will assume the positions

that are not chosen. Once all players have chosen a player number, press START.

“INSERT A CARD AND

ENTER THE CODE”

Choose any card from the regular game cards. Raise the card door and insert the

card, making sure that the cutout in the center of the card fits over the tab in the unit.

1514

NOTE: ALWAYS INSERT A NEW CARD SO THAT THE ODD NUMBERED CODE

SHOWS THROUGH THE CARD CODE WINDOW

Close the card door. The card code will be displayed through the card code window.

Enter the card code using the player buttons. Anne will call out the numbers as you

enter them.

If the card code you entered is invalid (EX - you have placed the new card upside

down or you have used a Head-To-Head card) Anne will again ask you to insert a

card and enter the code. Make any corrections you need to make and re-enter

the code.

If you accidentally enter a valid card code that does not match the card you have

put into the game, press PAUSE. Remove the card that is in the game. Find the

card that matches the code you entered and insert it into the game. Press START

to re-start game play.

1716

“START THE CLOCK”

Anne will start the first round. The LCD will display the round number and the timer.

Player 1 will always start Round 1. In later rounds, the first player will be the strongest

link from the previous round. If question one is not displayed in the question window,

the unit will rotate the card until it is. When it is showing, the game will begin and

the timer will start counting down.

Read the question and answer displayed in the question window. Press A, Bor C

to answer. Anne will announce if the answer was correct or incorrect.

If the answer is correct, the team is awarded the value of the question.

The next player is announced. He has two options.

1 – Press BANK and safeguard the money before the wheel turns to reveal

the next question

2 – Do not press BANK and try to increase the money chain by taking the risk

that he will answer the next question correctly.

If the answer is incorrect, the money chain is broken. The next player is announced

and a new money chain starts at $0.

BANKING

Only money that is “banked” is added to the cumulative total. On each turn, there

is a pause between when Anne announces the next player’s number and when the

new question is revealed. During this time, the player should press the BANK button

to add all money currently in the chain to the round total. When a player banks, the

chain starts over at $0.

The LCD will display the value of the current question and also

the round total. The round total is all money that has been

banked in the round. In the example shown, the value of the

current question is $2500. The team has banked $4500 for

the round.

Players take turns answering questions and banking money until the timer runs out,

ending the round.
