This is in addition to the other game shows that the network airs in prime time, including The Chase, Press Your Luck, The $100,000 Pyramid and Generation Gap.

ABC has not officially announced any of the celebrities that are going to be participating in this latest season of Celebrity Family Feud. However, thanks to a preview clip that was shared on Twitter (which you can watch below), we have an idea of some of the stars set to compete for charities on the game show.
In the trailer we see teams featuring Dancing with the Stars and The Wonder Years casts, as well as Yellowjackets star Christina Ricci (will her co-stars be joining her?) and Niecy Nash-Betts, who stars in the ABC series The Rookie: Feds.

Celebrity Family Feud game play
Family Feud has been around since 1976, but in case you are new to the game, here are the basics:
- Each game sees two teams of five compete to see who can get the most points based on the popularity of answers to a given prompt, as responded to by a 100-person survey panel.
- There are three rounds of team-vs-team gameplay. The second round sees points double and the third round sees point triple.
- Each round starts with one family member from each team attempting to buzz in first with their best answer. If the team that buzzes first gives the top answer, they have the option to play the round or pass it to the other team. If the first answer given is not the top answer, the other team has the opportunity to guess the top answer.
- After a team decides to play the round, each subsequent team member makes guesses at the remaining responses. If they give a correct response, the answer is revealed. If they guess incorrectly, they get a strike.
- If a team gets three strikes before answering all responses, the opposing team has the opportunity to steal, needing to only give one correct answer to take the points.
- The team with the highest point total after the three rounds moves onto Fast Money, where two players try to amass 200 points providing answers to the same five questions (the second player does not know the first player's answers). The first player is given 20 seconds to answer all five questions, with the ability to pass and move on to the next question if they want, which they can come back to if time remains. The second player gets 25 seconds, the extra time in the event they give an answer their teammate already provided.
