A race to be the sole beneficiary of crafty old Maloney’s will.

The first player to complete the tasks set out by the crafty Maloney and pay out the least money, wins. Apart from a good deal of luck, you’ll need skill and cunning to play the cards and acquire the old motor car, in which the hoodlums travel.

Game play approx. 45 minutes. The rules leaflet includes a number of illustrations which are very easy to follow.

The game is based upon Maloney's assets, a number of smoky drinking dens from Chicago to New Orleans. Quote;
"Each of you is to drive to the towns, where my drinking dens are, with $10,500 in your pockets. However, you have one car only, which I know you will fight over. What you have to do is to find yourselves in the same town at the same time. The playing cards will show you the date and the place of the rendezvous. Don't worry! A reward is awaiting you in each place. When you get there, you will find a suitcase containing a little surprise. In addition to this, everyone will be able to win points. No, it's no good complaining! I know you can't wait to get your hands on my lolly, but that's the game. Whoever manages to get to a given place on a set day will carry off 7 points. 1 point is docked for each day over the deadline and whoever manages to bag 69 points in this way will have succeeded in becoming my sole inheritor".
