The Mother Road: Ruta 66

The Mother Road is a press-your-luck race across Route 66. Route 66 icons and photos are represented on the nearly 4 foot long neoprene mat board for the game. The player pieces are wooden cars representative of classics found on Route 66 in days gone by -- a canary yellow 60’s Mustang; a pale blue Thunderbird from the 50’s (with portholes); a cherry red Ford pickup truck (featured in the Eagles' first hit “Take It Easy”); and a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Players race along a two tiered track to cross the US on the iconic Route 66. The first player to California wins the game.
