Some brainy people are invited to stay in a big house and compete in mental games for a chance to win a sack of money.
The games are complex (which I love) and each game has about five minutes of rules explenation - my wife would switch off for these bits - but it doesn't matter as a voice-over provides tips on what is going on.
The characters are great and it really is moving when one is eliminated.
The format has some interesting kinks in it: like the "pieces" the players can obtain.
This isn't a straight forward "you lose you go home" affair - you can come last and be fine and come second and be eliminated.
I was at the very edge of my seat on several occasion.
Please, please, please renew this!
