[edit] Can skill guarantee a win?
In the Clock Game, knowledge of binary search assures the player of victory. Here, knowledge of multiplication tables (especially 1 and 10) can guarantee the player a Blackjack without breaking a sweat.
- ...except that they can have more than one item that could conceivably be the 10. They can't really do anything comparable in Clock Game. -TPIRFanSteve 02:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Its retirement status?
I went to Golden-road.net and its forums, and I heard that Hit Me is going to be retired. So I looked around, tried to find reviews of the game in "Active Games" forum, yet there's nothing. However, I heard the thread is in the "Retired Games" section, which is likely possible that this game met its end. I don't know if it's true or not and I did not care for this game very much, but the point is that it should not retire. --Gh87 23:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, Gh87, but Hit Me is headed for Pricing Game Heaven:
The game was becoming too confusing for some contestants.
[edit] Too Confusing?
Oh please. The game to me is simpler to understand than Check Game (I believe I could successfully explain the rules there if Barker challenged me). Basic math skills are all the game required. It probably had too high a win percentage and no ethical way for the producers to make it harder to win Dwp49423 16:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC).
- Basic math skills are also something that a large portion of the population doesn't possess. The game had a fine win percentage, but a lower percentage than you'd expect of wins via blackjacks. The game's actually been "on the chopping block," so to speak, for a couple of years because of the exact reason you've just stated you don't believe -- contestants didn't know how to play it properly, and it made for bad television. You can continue to think that it was retired because of its win-loss record if you want, but you're not going to get any less wrong. -TPIRFanSteve 02:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
