Foreign versions
On the 1980s UK "Price", the game known as "Most Expensive" actually used the rules of
Eazy az 1 2 3 (which did not exist yet in the United States). Contestants were asked to number the prizes 3-2-1 from least to most expensive, and winners would only receive the most expensive prize.In the first two series of "Bruce's Price Is Right", the American format of Most Expensive was used, although winners would still only receive the most expensive prize. In the third series, the game reverted to the Eazy az 1 2 3 format, and winners began to receive all three prizes.
