Step back in time to the golden age of adventure with The Magnificent Race, a thrilling Parker Brothers classic from 1975. Imagine a world before jet travel, when hot air balloons, steamers, automobiles, and aeroplanes were the height of innovation. Players compete in a daring race around the globe, starting and finishing in London — but watch out, because the mischievous Dastardly Dan is always ready to spoil your plans! With marbles spinning in the racetrack and clever advantages to buy along the way, this game blends luck, strategy, and excitement in a truly unique way.
How to Play
Each player controls four different vehicles and races around the board, collecting money and buying advantage cards to boost their odds in the thrilling marble races. When a race is called, marbles representing each vehicle are spun in the racetrack spinner, with advantage points giving you extra marbles and better chances of winning. But Dastardly Dan always joins the race, and his unpredictable wins can send your strategy into chaos. Earn money, outwit your rivals, and push your vehicles forward — the first to race around the world and return to London wins.
