Family Fortunes: Hosted by Vernon Kaye

Family Fortunes: Hosted By Vernon Kaye is a DVD game based on a popular UK television show and this is the the third UK DVD title that uses its format.

Just like the show this game has five rounds and is made for two teams. In a round each team is asked a question in turn and their aim is to give the same top five answers that the public gave when they were asked the same question. Each answer scores points depending on the percentage of the public who gave the same answer. If a team gives a single wrong answer their opponents get a chance to 'steal' the points earned so far.

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, for this to happen Team B's answer must be among the remaining answers the public gave to the question.

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