Winner of the original "Spiel des Jahres" back in 1979 this game was first released in 1973 and is one of our oldest games still for sale.
"This game features the legendary race
between the hare and the tortoise, but with a twist. Each
player plays both parts at different stages of the race.
Sometimes it is best to race like rabbit; others, it is
best to move slowly and cautiously like the turtle. In
the end, it is the best combination of the two strategies
that will win the race. Great fun for families, but also
some serious strategy for serious players."
