I'm impressed that they haven't been described as "pricing puzzles" yet in this thread.

Don't poke the bear.

I actually bought mine (on significant discount) not really to play it (in fact, I've never actually played it) so much as to think of it as a Game Show Construction Set. What this dude did with his PDF is not all that far removed from that, except he actually did something instead of just putting it on a shelf and thinking about it, which puts him a step up on me as far as I'm concerned.
My point is that for most people if you named a pricing game that the average owner of the TPIR Erector Set would be able to set it up without needed instructions (I also wonder how much of that PDF was cribbed from the instruction book in the actual game.) because the kind of person who would buy the Erector Set is self-selecting.

Don't poke the bear.

It's very rare that one of my photos from work is appropriate for a reply comment, but this one is.



For animal rights folks out there: The bear was soundly asleep after being tranquilized. He was examined and released back into the wild in perfect health about 90 miles away. He was 150 pounds and we caught him in a tarp when he fell out of the tree.

This version of the TPiR home game was made for pimping. Forty five pricing puzzles and only one playing field (Cliff Hangers). The much too big box has plenty of room for storing your own homemade playing fields.

Letting it go was certainly short lived, wasn't it.

puzzles

Translation:  "I have nothing to add to this discussion, but I have to figure out a way of wedging in "pricing puzzles" because somebody poked the bear.

... because somebody poked the bear.

The bear must have an awesome facebook page.
