  1. The Magnificent Race

    Players use various travel options to win the race in this entertaining game for 2-4 players. They buy cards to gain advantages in mini-races involving marbles in a spinning roulette bowl. The marble that lands in the hole wins the race and moves 3 pegs along the track from NY around the world back to NY. Beware of the purple marble, as it represents the non-player Dastardly Dan, who participates in every race and can actually win the game! The game bears a vague resemblance to Wacky Races and may have been inspired by the cartoon, but neither is an official copy of the other.
