Card Sharks (1996 pilot)

This is chronicling the 1996 unsold pilot of Card Sharks.

Game format
The main round had a 10-person group poll question (mainly rock video supergirls in the pilot) for the right to try and make it to the end of a single 10-card pyramid (similar to the 2001 version) if the player manages to do so won $250 (doubled to $500 for guessing all ten cards in a single turn) and a chance for $5,000 in the bonus round that plays very similar to the Shell Game from The Price is Right.

Bonus Round
He or She was shown four cards (i.e. three numbered cards and an ace) A video was run, featuring one of three celebrities (i.e. David Hasselhoff, Cynthia Garrett and Doug Davidson) answering a question (similar to the "dilemmas" used in the 2001 version) a correct prediction as to where the celebrity correctly answered the question earned the right to pick one card out of the four. After two/three questions were asked, the player won $100 times the value of each numbered card. However, if they kept the ace they won $5,000.

Trivia
Although the Goodson logo was seen in the end but the name nor announcment were never said in the end, this was also done on MG2 as well.
