Game Between Heirs: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'': The successor to the Ushiromiya family's headship and fortune (which includes 10 tons of solid gold) seemed to be locked and set--andset—and then a letter from the [[Magnificent Bastard|resident witch]] arrived, announcing that the spoils have been made fair game to anyone who can solve the Witch's Epitaph, a long riddle which incidentally, details a ritual requiring human sacrifice. Mind games (and [[Anyone Can Die|lots and]] [[Kill'Em All|lots of murder]]) ensue.

* In one story arc on ''[[The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show]]'', a will specified that the deceased's "million-dollar note" would go to whoever had a foot bearing a certain name on it--whichit—which turned out to be Bullwinkle. Except that [[On One Condition|to claim the money]], he had to spend the night in the owner's mansion (with the owner's sons making various attempts to get him out of the building). Rocky and Bullwinkle succeed, but then it's revealed that Bullwinkle's foot no longer bears the mark, because apparently it was just an imprint from his shower mat. So the million-dollar note goes to the sons. [[Twist Ending|BUT!]] It turns out to be a ''promissory'' note, placing the sons in a $1 million debt, while Bullwinkle gets to go home to the happy status quo (telling Rocky that although that mark on his foot was just a temporary imprint, the mark on his ''other'' foot "never comes off").
