Overview

The Mother Road is a press-your-luck race across Route 66 for 2-4 players. The player pieces are wooden cars representative of classics found on Route 66 in days gone by -- a canary yellow 60’s Mustang; a pale blue Thunderbird from the 50’s (with portholes); a cherry red Ford pickup truck (featured in the Eagles' first hit “Take It Easy”); and a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Lots of Route 66 icons and photos are represented on the nearly 4 foot long neoprene mat board for the game and the dice are all in player colors too! Races are usually closely-contested and take 30-45 minutes. The rules are easy to learn, and this game can be enjoyed by serious or casual gamers ages 9 & up.
