Box Description
Uh oh! You spent too much time eating lettuce and cannot now win the race. But speed alone cannot win the game. As in the story of the hare and tortoise, a player cannot win as the hare or the tortoise, but must balance the speed and patience of each to win the race. Thus, skill and cleverness are more important than luck in this race. Of course, luck may help, but you cannot rely on luck to win the game.

In 1979, Hare and Tortoise was chosen as the first Spiel des Jahres winner. Even today, it remains a unique and popular family game.
