Description
A folding board game, Round the World Air Race, features a colour-printed map on its inner leaves, with detailed illustrations, a world surrounded by flying planes and an airplane hangar on the outer leaves. The game likely included dice, counters, and additional accessories, which are currently missing from the set.
The game map shows the world, with players starting from London and progressing eastward to complete the race back to their starting point. The green route on the map represents the optimal and fastest path to victory. Players navigate the course by rolling dice, with certain rolls or landings on specific numbers causing them to divert to slower routes or wait for designated turns. The instructions reference the use of pins inserted into the planes, suggesting that counters were likely in the shape of miniature airplanes.
