I am trying to find a game I used to play in the 1990's?

Question

All i can remember is that there were little plastic money banks and you had to shake each others money banks to somehow earn coins. Someone said it was called 'go for gold' but i can't find any information or pictures on the interent of a game involving piggy banks by that name. Can someone please help.

Answer 1

Never played it. Did internet search. Was it possibly BankOla? http://www.bankolagame.com/

Answer 2

Did the individual players have piggy banks or was there one central one?  I have a game called Pinky, produced by Ravensburger that has players putting money into the bright pink piggy bank (called Pinky) and then shaking the pig to get money out.  There is an electronic device on the coin slot that makes the pig sometimes oink when you put the coins in.  I'm sorry I don't have a better description than that, but the one I have has the rules in Dutch, and I haven't yet translated them.

Here is the BoardGameGeek.com entry for Pinky (sorry I haven't uploaded any pictures yet):

Or could you have been playing Pop Belly?  I've not played Pop Belly, but I understand it has something to do with loading pig figures up with coins... but if you fill them too full, their bellies burst.

If these aren't what you are looking for, you might consider posing your question over at BoardGameGeek.com.   The users there pride themselves on identifying games from somewhat-vague descriptions.
