Description
Antique 1921 Go! The Great Race Game by Racego - James B. Ludlow. This Game is in Very Good or better condition as pictured. Philadelphia: Racego Game Company, (1921). The Box has some wear as shown. The racing felt linen board is in Excellent Condition. Doesnt look like it was used or used very little. Game includes: linen board printed in green, yellow, black and red, 26-1/2 x 26-3/4 inches when unfolded; six lead metal playing pieces in the shape of jockeys riding horses, painted black or brown, numbered consecutively, and housed in a cardboard holder with individual "stalls" for the pieces; cardboard box containing 140 flat, circular red, white and blue bone betting counters. The horse play pieces were named Man o' War, Sir Barton, Behave Yourself, Broomspun, Gray Lag, and Audacious -- all famous racing horses of the era. Using an ordinary deck of cards (not included), players move the pieces around the board in such a way that "the horses speed up or drop back, pass each other and fight for the 'pole' and inside positions just as the live ones do on the track" Meanwhile, the players place wagers on the winners, colors and time, using white, red or blue betting counters to indicate the amount of their wager. Very Scarce in this complete condition. See pictures for complete condition and description.
