This is a 75th anniversary reissue of 1904's "Neues Lustiges Rad-Fahr Spiel von Julius Beck". I must admit that, when I received it, I doubted that there really was a 1904 original game; I thought that it was just a retro-looking modern game. Later, I saw the game in Erwin Glonnegger's "Das Spiele-Book" (the bibliography is somewhere else on this site), and I understood that the game really had existed. Nevertheless, the game pictured in that book is the modern version.

UPDATE 2023: Siegfried L. informs me you can find some pictures of the 1904 version of the game on Boardgamegeek. He also explains that the board contains three different games that can be played separately or consecutively.(By the way, the rules are in German and Dutch, at least in the modern version of the game). Thanks a lot for the information!

 

 

A normal and a special die.

   

Siegfried also remarks that the riders are heading the wrong way in that picture. Ouch!
I promise I will take new pictures of this game.

This reissue goes so far as to include fake metal coins.
