Lascia o Raddoppia? (1955)

First Italian TV game, inspired by the quiz show with the same name made by the Italian-American anchorman Mike Bongiorno. Every player has some "answer" cards. Every turn a question is randomly selected and the player has to play the card with the answer or a joker. If he has no answer, then a question is made to which the player has to answer by voice, if he knows the answer. The winner is the first that, by doubling every time the 40,000 Liras he got at the start, reaches the sum of 5,120,000 Liras. The game includes a board, two decks of cards, a little arrow rotating on a cardboard base, a question booklet and 36 "golden" coins of size proportional to the value. The box looks like a TV set of that time, in wood with a silver "screen" in relief.
