Originally airing in 1976, Family Feud is an American television game show that pits two families (by their last name) against each other as they try to answer survey questions and win money.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073991/ To make the show more intriguing, a "Double Survey Question" worth $200 was introduced in 1976 & Triple Survey Question worth $300 was added on March 5, 1979.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073991/plotsummary The show which originated in the United States has been franchised into several localized versions as well.

The board game manufacturer Milton Bradly then produced several home versions of the game which were given to each contestant.http://www.boardgamebeast.com/family-feud-board-game.html
