Parker's mad dash around the world with the arch villain Dastardly Dan!

The object is to be the first player to race around the world; starting and ending in London.
During the game each player will own four different vehicles and a set of marbles. You'll move around the tracks collecting money and buying advantages to add to your power. All races take place in the racetrack spinner. When a race is called, each player throws one marble into the spinner and adds an additional marble for each advantage point on that vehicle. Spin the racetrack. The marble that rests in the winner's circle is the winner. Dastardly Dan will be racing against you every time and has the insidious habit of winning every now and then. So beware.
