Gameplay[]

Bill Long, a wealthy land developer and rancher is putting his most beloved possession, a large ranch in Kansas up for grabs as his family and friends competed in both physical and mental challenges to win rewards and starve off elimination. The last person standing will claim the title of most deserving heir and wins the ranch all by him or herself.
