Two Families are playing for Prizes and Cash! It's your favorite board games played in a whole new way! The games are popping out of the box on "Family Game Night!"

Ella's Family: Ella is the youngest. Mark is really funny. Dianne (Mom) makes choclate chip pancakes. Oliva writes and Ella and Olivia play soccer. THEY ARE THE RED FAMILY!

Kaleb's Family: Kaleb is the youngest. Brother Landon plays music and the two ride scooters. Melanie is the mom, A very good photographer, and Dad Jeffery likes to clean cars and work on computers. THEY ARE THE YELLOW FAMILY!

Five games will be played. Each win will give the family a choice of 21 Monopoly Crazy Cash Card (3C's). Each card has a different dollar amount. Tonight's top value: $15,000! Both families keep everything they win.

Tossup: Guess Who?

The tossup will determine which family gets first pick of the Cash Cards, and who will play first in the first game. Each team is guaranteed at least 1 Crazy Cash Card.
