Race-Play (1945)

"Australian action game. You get eight plastic horses, a good size, to which is attached a length of string (around 1 metre). The strings are unwound to their full length and will stretch from the control box to the start line . At the start everyone frantically rewinds their string. The first horse to reach the control box, wins. The horses are named after celebrated Australian thoroughbreds (including Phar Lap). There is no clear winner although I think it will be the richest player after a number of pre-set races. There is no recommendation who should be the Bookie. A non-player would be favourite for that task. "
