Title:
Touring The Famous Automobile Game
Description:
The 1947 edition of Parker Brothers’ Touring is a vintage 2-6 player automobile-themed card game where players race to accumulate specific mileage (often 50-100 miles, or 550 total in some versions). Players use mileage cards to advance while playing ”hazard” cards (e.g., flat tire, out of gas, collision) to slow down opponents.
Key Features of the 1947 Touring Game:
Gameplay: Players aim to complete a, 50, 100, or higher, mile trip. A ”Go” card is required to start, and various hazard cards can halt progress until a remedy card (like gasoline or a wrecker) is played.
Components: The 1947 set often includes 99 cards, featuring vintage illustrations of early-20th-century cars.
Goal: Be the first to reach the predetermined mileage.
Manufacturer: The game was produced by Parker Brothers, with some editions manufactured in Canada by the Copp Clark Company.
The game, originally developed in 1906, is considered a predecessor to Mille Bornes.
