	Games - Five Price Tags

Five Price Tags is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right
. It is played for a car, and uses small prizes.

Gameplay

The game is played in two parts.

In the first part, host Bob Barker shows the contestant four small prizes, one at a time. For each prize, a price is shown. The contestant must guess whether the displayed price is "true" or "false." If the contestant is correct, he wins the prize and earns a choice of one of the five price tags representing the price of the car. A contestant could win up to four choices.

In the second stage, a board containing the five price tags is brought on stage. He selected one of the tags. If that tag concealed another tag that says "WIN" the contestant wins the car. If the tag hides the word "NO" however, the contestant could continue selecting tags until he exhausts all his choices (meaning the game could be lost even if the contestant won all four choices).

Trivia
