Little Noddy's Train Game (1957)

This game uses the children's book character, Noddy, created by Enid Blyton in 1949. It is a four-track race game in which each player has a plastic playing piece in the shape of a railway engine. The pieces are of different colours, matching the colours of the four tracks. Players use a spinner instead of dice and they follow instructions that are given along the trackways. Rewards: forward movement. Forfeits: backward movement, missed turns. Equipment required: markers, in the form of a steam engine driven by Noddy, coloured plastic, teetotum, marked 1 to 6.
