Released in 1965 by Selchow and Righter, Go for Broke flips the traditional board game objective—challenging players to lose their fortune as fast as possible. With over-the-top spending scenarios and colorful mid-century design, the game parodies capitalist excess and remains a playful icon of retro gaming culture.
Race to loose a million first, by gambling, donating, or by making bad trades.
Go For Broke is a roll and move game for 2-5 players. Players receive one million dollars from the bank and race to be the first player to spend all of their money and go bankrupt. Players can risk money at the Racetrack, the Casino, play the Stock Market or make donations to charity. Outcomes are determined by spend and receive cards and by the spinners that represent the various locations.
