Additional Details

Scarce children's game produced as a tie-in to Smith's show, in which players take turns spinning a numbered top to advance on the board or not, accumulating or losing counters, with the first to reach the summit taking the pot. The rule booklet also contains explanations of the 54 scenes en route from London to Mont Blanc depicted on the board. Farquhar/Cox 11; Meckly 6A; Neate S94.
