A: Are you going to watch the game this afternoon? It's a big one.
B: Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Is "Wouldn't miss it for the world" has the same meaning as never miss the game.

Thanks in advance
 
It means that there is nothing that could be offered to make the person miss the game. Not if you gave me $10. Not if you gave me $1 million. Not if you gave me the entire world. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
 
Thank you so much for your explanation SoothingDave. :-D
