After all these years we’re still finding things in Glencairn that tell us about the daily life of the Pitcairn family in the early 20th century. Recently we found 11 boards for games in a closet. (None of the tokens or dice were with the boards, but maybe those will show up one day, too?) This Grande Auto Race game was patented in 1915 by Howard D. Atkins of Philadelphia. The players raced around the track by throwing the dice. The game also involved the use of a sand glass; whoever was in the lead when the sand ran out won the game! -- source link
