Blank Slate is a new game showthat's coming to the Game Show Network weeknights
at six pm. It sounds fun. I know it's based off of a
board game, but tell us aboutit, right. It is based off
of a board game, and it'sessentially kind of an updated match game.

(02:37):
People try to match filling the blanktype answers and whoever gets the most points
at the end wins. And youknow, you got mom and dad,
husband and wife, all these differentsort of pairings. It's fun. It's
funny, gets off and naughty,and I have a good time with it.
