Golden Balls

They pick a golden ball, each with a cash value usually.

However, among the lot there are also killer balls that reduce the final jackpot.

The player can use a bluff-o-meter, measuring the trustworthiness of each opponent.

The computer-controlled opponents may lie about the cash value contained in each of their golden balls, it is for the player to decide who to choose and ultimately who is telling the truth.

When the final two contestants face each other, having eliminated all the others, they must choose between "split" and "steal".

If they both select "split", they share the prize 50-50, however they get nothing if both opt for "steal".

When there is one "split" and one "steal", the player who chose "steal" takes all the money.

The game offers a multiplayer component supporting up to two players.

Since a normal game of Golden Balls is designed for four people, at least two of them are always NPCs.

Golden Balls for Nintendo DS is currently worth €7.99 loose, €3.66 complete in box, and €5.62 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Golden Balls has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Golden Balls, loose is €7.99 and CIB is €3.66 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
