Ideal Era (1974)
Ideal issued a version of the game in 1974 with a picture of host Peter Marshall on the box; this was the first of the adaptations to featured humorous gag names for the celebrities. This game was more true to the TV show than the earlier version (without money and "Secret Square" rules); which contains a cardboard game board with two plastic stands, five each of plastic X's and O's, a deck of 56 double-sided question cards (numbered 1-9 on each card) with nine questions on each side with a card holder.

Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or era:
“As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals—or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?”
—Rose Macaulay (1881–1958)
“The era of the political was one of anomie: crisis, violence, madness and revolution. The era of the transpolitical is that of anomaly: an aberration of no consequence, contemporaneous with the event of no consequence.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
