Neues Lustiges Rad-Fahr Spiel

This is a facsimile of a Ravensburger game from 1904 published to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Vedes toy trade group in 1979.

The game is a simple, roll-and-move bicycle race with one board with three different racetracks. Six cardboard bikers on wooden bases are provided but the rule sheet states that the number of players is not limited; there are two dice, one D6, one with special letters on it; a little tin plate; extremely cute tin money in a small pouch and two embossed cardboard medals.

The rules encourage the players to play all three tracks in succession - though it is also possible to play only a single track. Play goes counter-clockwise(!). All spaces on the board are numbered, special events on some of these numbers are explained in the rules ("put money on the plate", "collect money from the other players", "go back some spaces" and so on).
