Horse racing at ASCOT...

The weather is becomming colder and colder here in the North East of France... So what to do when you don't want to spend evening outside?

Why not playing a board game with husband?

So here is the game we discovered tonight...



This a a vintage board game from the 50's. We bought it several years ago in a flea market but never played with it because the instructions seemed to be so complicated! It's rare to find a game like this complete and in this pristine condition.


This game is something like Monopoly but on a horses racetrack.
A special bookmaker was there....


I wore this cute tiny 40's hat for this ASCOT horses race of course, the place where you must wear one of your funniest hat!!!!


Look at those cute horses pawns!!!


The microphone was just for the fun...


Finally it was quite easy to learn how to play with this game and we spent a nice cosy evening at home!!!

Do you like playing board games?
What are your activities during these cold evenings?

    Merci pour ses compliments!!! J'ai jeté un oeil à ton blog, les photos y sont vraiment sympas. Je vois que tu collectionnes plutôt les objets pubs ou en rapport avec les Juke-boxs et voitures US. Nous possédons un jukebox de 1958 de marque AMI. Pour les objets pubs, je trouve ça joli, nous en possédons quelques uns notamment des plaques émaillées, mais je trouve que les prix sont souvent prohibitifs.
    Nous habitons à 2km de la frontière luxembourgeoise, je garde tes coordonnées si on passe par Liège un jour.

    Salut, ça va le Luxembourg, c'est pas encore trop loin de liège
    je me cible plus sur les objets de diners comme les wallbox, mais aussi les micros, ce qui touche aux sodas (pepsi, coca, 7up, royal crown cola,...) et les objets de garage (gonfleurs, bidons d'huile,...)

    les plaques émaillées c'est vrai que la plupart du temps elles sont chères, mais quand on cherche bien on peut en trouver à bon prix

    à bientôt
    John
