Three teams of two players each attempt to amass cash by answering questions and identifying the common thread that links them.

The round continues until all six amounts have dropped, at which point the lowest-scoring team is eliminated from the game with no winnings.

The team in control decides how many links they want to earn, from one to four, and the host reads a series of clues to a subject.

A correct response moves the team one step up a six-level money ladder, using the same values as Round 1, but a miss requires the same contestant to play a new list.

After any correct answer, the team may choose to stop the game and keep the money won to that point, or risk it and continue playing.
