Roaring Twenties Game, Wilder Manufacturing Co.
If you’re tired of Monopoly and Risk and Parcheesi, give this Roaring Twenties racing game a try. Just download the PDF, print it out, rustle up a couple of dice, and find something to act as your “race car” — a small button, a dime, or maybe an old spark plug. Then settle in for some good old-fashioned FUN from the days when paved roads were exotic!
Board Game Directions:
1. Two to four “Racers” may play.
2. Each Racer selects a car and puts it on the matching colored space on the starting row.
3. The Racer who rolls the highest number starts the race, the second highest starts second, etc.
4. Racers must move as many spaces as they roll. Racers that land on a black spot must follow the instructions closest to that spot.
*There is NO Number 5.*
6. The first Racer to cross the finish line WlNS!
