Vintage board game 'Gioco delle Corse - Italia 1950s', in Excellent condition with original box; an antique Italian racing game with a wooden box and lead horses operated by a metal wind-up mechanism, dating from the 1940s–1950s and considered a rare collectible.
Description from the seller
This is an ancient Italian board game called the “Gioco delle Corse,” made with a wooden box and lead horses.
Similar pieces date back to the 1940s or 1950s and are considered rare collectibles.
The game often includes a metal crank mechanism to move the horses on the track.
In the Italian version of the “Gioco delle Corse” the horses are made of lead and the game is based solely on which horse travels the farthest thanks to a system that “propels” the horses along a straight track. The spaces and steps disappear with the dice throws, leaving only the “speed,” and there is no reference to the preparation and training phase of the animals.
