Society or High Hat

The Gaming Gods smile upon me; a copy of High Hat is mine at last! :) Like Parker Brothers' other late '30s releases, High Hat is of excellent quality. The game has 100 chance cards in addition to the spaces on the board, so there are a great many random events that can happen. At first glance it would seem the game should move along fairly quickly, but the aforementioned random events can cause you to lose properties and social standing just as quickly as you get it. Definitely a case of "easy come, easy go"! The game is also lengthened by things like plane crashes, car wrecks and nervous breakdowns, all of which earn you a trip to the Sanitarium. That means a loss of three full turns before you can re-enter play. Several other spaces on the board cause the loss of turns as well. That being said, High Hat is still a fun game to play, and I am very happy to have finally acquired a copy of this ultra-rare game..
