For those who do not know what Jeopardy is, it is a television game show form of trivial pursuit. Six categories are given with 5 questions in each, increasing in money amount and also in difficulty based on money to be won. Three players compete to win the money from each clue by being the first to buzz in and answer correctly. A player has to give the answer in the form of a question. Alex Trebeck is the host of the show. The player ask for a clue by saying "Major Arcana for $100, Alex" Alex then says, "This card is the seventh in the major arcana." The players then race to buzz in and answer "What is the Chariot?" If a player answer correctly, they get to choose the next category and $ clue. If no one gets it right, Alex gives the next clue, which in this case would be Major Arcana for $200. Or Category: Rider-Waite for $200 Clue: On the Rider-Waite coin card, the man giving money to the needy holds this in his left hand. And then: Answer: What is a scale? Or Category: Minor Arcana for $400 Clue: This Rider-Waite card could be said to show the result of Dumas's Musketeers all stabbing a lover. Answer: What is the Three of Swords? Playing it in here, the only category is Tarot. :) Hope this helps some. BlueManticore P.S.
