Hi folks

I am trying to remember the name of a board game. It was set I think in the Victorian age, and was about a great race around the world. There were various modes of transport such as planes, cars and boats.

That's about all the info I can remember. I have googled lists of board games and I had thought the name was either "Around the world" or "The Great Race" but these do not seem to be it.

Many thanks!

Simon

set in the Victorian age

planes, cars and boats

.
I suppose one out three isn't too bad.
[EDIT] I suppose 'cars' came along in the 1890s, but more as novelties than modes of transport, one and half out of three.

Ok, maybe it was set in say the 1900s!

Thanks B.A. Nana - I have had a look and that is not it. I can almost see the visual style, and I am sure it was quite cartoon like.

You're a star - it was most certainly "The Magnificent Race"

Many thanks to everyone for helping
