Other show info

*Poker Game is now the game that has went the longest without being played (after 3 Strikes). It was last played on December 22nd.
*I'm surprised they played Line 'em Up and One Away on the same show. They are very similar games.
*Remember that you can't always rely on the geography trick when playing a pricing game for trips (The trick being the most expensive trip will be the one that is the furthest from L.A.). Be sure to listen to Rod's description to make sure that the trip closer to L.A. isn't more luxurious than the further one, like it was today.
*The Price is Right Board Game (Endless Games version) was one of the board games featured in today's showcase. I'm surprised they are promoting thi sgame, considering that this 1999 release is almost exactly like the 1988 board game. The prices are even the same!
