Whoopee! Game, circa 1929

Summary

Players have fun rolling dice, collecting markers, and yelling "Whoopee!" in this Milton Bradley game from 1929. The game play has little reference to cowboys or bronco busting as suggested by the box cover illustration. Milton Bradley, however, marketed it as "The Game of Thrills," to which bronco busting surely applies.
