It's come to my attention that my copy may be a particularly uncommon one. Those of you who have one, do the puzzles come on separate cards, or on a roll-a-matic?
-
Separate cards, though the roll-a-matic is depicted on the box. Which does yours have?
-
I have a (very cheaply made) roll-a-matic.

Same as mine.

Is it fair to assume the Roll-a-Matic version has the same number of puzzles as the version printed on double-sided cards--48?
-
I have a copy of BOTH versions. The first that I'd found was a roll-o-matic type, and a few years later I'd found one with the puzzle cards in a thrift store.

I'm surprised that the home game didn't at least include a few additional materials to replicate the car round, since that was a major hook on this version.

I'm not. If they had bothered it would have been as rip-roaring fun as the Blockbusters Gold Run.

"1! 3!"
"No match."

I used to while away the minutes playing a version of that but all I needed was a deck of cards. I enjoyed it for the reasons that people play memory games, but there's just no reasons to include an extra sheet of car tabs, having to pull up the slides, put 'em back, all against a timer, and replicate the game show experience. At all. If you're really keen get some half-size index cards, pick whatever cars you want to write on 'em and do that, but to recreate that game using the plastic game board would be silly.

You wouldn't include them as tabs, you'd more likely just make it little cards that you laid out on the table, kinda like Beat Teh Dragon in the Tic Tac Dough home game.
