Family Fortunes: Hosted by Vernon Kaye

Family Fortunes: Hosted By Vernon Kaye is the second UK DVD title based on the popular television show. In the show two teams of five, usually from the same family, are asked a series of questions which had previously been asked in a survey of one hundred members of the general public. Their objective is to give the top answers that the public gave. Each answer scores points depending on the percentage of the public who gave the same answer. If a team gives three wrong answers their opponents get a chance to 'steal' the points earned so far.

There are five rounds to the game which does NOT keep score for the players, instead a score pad is provided so that teams can write down their own scores:

Round One is always directed at Team A who have thirty seconds to write down what they consider to be the top five answers; during those thirty seconds Team B must write down a single answer in the STEAL section of their score sheet. When the time is up the players reveal the correct answers one at a time and Team A score points for every correct answer they have no matter what order they wrote they were written down. The number of points scored for a correct answer, as in the TV show, depends on the number of people in the survey who gave that answer. If Team A give five correct answers then they win the round, and the points, outright.

If an answer appears which Team A did not write down then Team B have a chance to steal the points, this happens if Team B's answer is present in the answer Team A did not guess or any of the remaining answers.

Once Team A has finished its turn it is Team B’s turn.

Round Two is the "Viewer’s Question" round. Here both teams play and have just fifteen seconds to write down three answers. Either, both or neither team can score fifty points if one of their three answers matches the top answer from the public survey.

Round Three is a replay of Round One.

Round Four is the "Double Money" round, this is also a replay of Round One but, obviously, the points that can be scored or stolen are higher.

Round Five is the "Head To Head" round where each team selects their strongest player to play against the opposing team’s candidate. Five questions are asked in 25 seconds. When time is up, the answers are revealed and if the player’s answer matches the survey’s answer the player wins more points to be added to their team’s total.
