| The catalogue note for the V & A online shows "Type:race, spiral" but elsewhere "Design: lithograph, 2 sheets folded into a cardboard cover; represents a long winding road from Tower Hill to Buckingham Palace". This is a folded panorama type race track, not spiral.
There are 50 squares showing London buildings on the route, and places where the player can move only one space at a time because of fog.
There is an uncoloured Example at V & A, with another coloured copy offered in the Games et Al website. |
