Match Game is an Alexa skill?

All sorts of odd game show press releases land in my inbox. But this one also surfaced on a website.

A software outfit will release a Match Game "skill" for Alexa. I'm not sure exactly what a "skill" is in the Alexa world, but I think it's a game you play with the voice-activated gadget. This particular "skill" mimics the Super Match on the venerable game show. You try to match one of the top three choices in an audience poll.

I don't believe the "skill" allows you to ask Richard, Brett and Charles for their recommendations, unless it includes a link to the hereafter. Readers of this blog know that I think the 1973-82 version of  Match Game is the greatest game show ever. So I don't mind the legendary format finding a place in the Alexa world (not to mention a place on ABC).

I still doubt that playing the Alexa game can match (sorry) watching the original on GSN or Buzzr. But that's a tough standard.
