The game was essentially a quiz-based version of "Shut The Box": two contestants answered general knowledge questions and rolled a large pair of UsefulNotes/{{dice}}, hoping to remove numbers from a game board and accumulate prizes. In the 1974-76 run, each number had a prize behind it, including two halves of either a car or a trip (both of which had to be claimed by the same contestant or else it would be out of play). In the 1978-80 and 1987-88 runs, three numbers were in each of three column and had to be removed to claim the prize(s).

* LuckBasedMission: Dice tend to be like that. You can answer every question correctly, but still lose because of bad rolls screwing you over...or good rolls by your opponent.

Everythings Better With Monkeys has been turned into a disambiguation. Zero Context Examples and examples that don’t fit existing tropes will be removed.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The 1986 {{pilot}} had a dice-throwing monkey in "Duel of the Dice", a minigame that didn't actually get used in the series (it involved rolling a higher total than a trained monkey did).
