mr. bucks

One of my favorite board games growing up was 'Go For Broke' - it was the perfect game for anyone that ever said to themselves, "If there was only a game for people that lost all of their money first, I'd win."

Players are each given a large sum of money to start the game, and try to win by squandering it all. Looking back, the one venue that stands out is the horse racing track. It's funny that with the goal of winning the game in mind, the focus really is on losing one's fortune. In particular is the game's nemesis, a gentleman known as Mr. Bucks. He's the annoying guy that spoils everything you've worked for by lavishing money on you - how frustrating is that?
