* LuckBasedMission: It was all a matter of where the arrow stopped.

* ShowTheFolksAtHome: On the pilot episode only, the total for the contestant who won control of a prize was shown on-screen as she decided what to do with it. During the series proper, the totals were shown before the sixth turn as Johnny Jacobs read them off and listed the prizes each contestant had in her bank.

A ''very'' short-lived Creator/{{CBS}} GameShow from late 1975, created by Bill Carruthers and hosted by Jim Lange, in which four female contestants sat at desks surrounding a spinning red arrow. Each contestant was spotted one prize to start the game, but the retail values were not given. In each round, a new prize was described and the host asked a question. The first to buzz in and answer correctly got to spin the arrow, hitting her buzzer to slow and stop it. The woman on whom it stopped could either accept that prize or pass it to an opponent (if the arrow stopped on a vacant area between two players, whoever stopped it was given the options).

The object was to accumulate the most without going over [[{{Cap}} $5,000]]; going over said amount locked that player out until she correctly answered a question (in which case she could give a prize to an opponent, which she hoped would bring her back under $5,000). Contestants could voluntarily lock themselves out if they were worried about going over the limit. After seven spins, whoever was closest to $5,000 without going over won the game and those prizes, then had a chance to win every prize featured on that episode.

A ''very'' short-lived Creator/{{CBS}} GameShow from late 1975, created by Bill Carruthers and hosted by Jim Lange, in which four female contestants sat at desks surrounding a spinning red arrow. A prize was presented along with its retail value, then a question was posed. Whoever answered correctly manipulated the arrow, hitting a button which caused the arrow to slow down on its own until it stopped. The woman on whom it stopped could either accept that prize or pass it to an opponent (if the arrow stopped on a vacant area between two players, whoever stopped it was given the options).

After eight prizes, whoever was closest to $5,000 without going over won the game and those prizes.

* BonusRound: The winner picked one of the four seats and stopped the arrow once more; if it landed in her area, she won '''all eight''' prizes.

* ShowTheFolksAtHome: Before the final prize, Jacobs read each player's score as she was shown on-screen.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** A revival was attempted on March 27, 1986 as ''[[http://www.usgameshows.net/x.php?show=UpAndOver Up and Over]]'', hosted by Carruthers himself.
** Creator/{{NBC}}'s ''Series/TakeItAll'' has similar White Elephant roots, except using five {{Mystery Box}}es, a goal to not be left with the lowest-valued prize after each round, and a PrisonersDilemma endgame.

''Give-n-Take'' was a show that just didn't work: The format has been described as "lame", and the set's primary color was black in an era where pastels were the norm for daytime game shows. It debuted on September 8 (the day ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' began an experimental week of hour-long shows) at 10:00 AM, replacing Lange's ''Spin-Off'', and couldn't compete against Creator/{{NBC}}'s ''Celebrity Sweepstakes''; when ''Price'' permanently expanded on November 3, ''Take'' was shunted off to the low-clearance 4:00 PM slot (replacing ''[[Series/MusicalChairs1975 Musical Chairs]]'') and died on the 28th.

** Creator/{{NBC}}'s ''Series/TakeItAll'' has similar White Elephant roots, except using five {{Mystery Box}}es, a goal to not be left with the lowest-valued prize after each round, and a PrisonersDilemma endgame. And, sadly, no trivia or spinning arrows.
