This is the same as the Italian "Affari tuoi" that I mentioned previously. swmbo likes to watch it. In last night's game the player was left with €50K and €100K still on the board. He chose not to swap and finished up with the €50K. It seems to me that swapping is usually the correct decision but I will take closer note in future.

If I understand the Wikipedia article correctly the more initial choices there are the better chance there is that swapping is the correct decision.
