More About Hare and Tortoise:

You must eat carrots to move forward in this race game, but you earn more carrots by moving backward. And as you move forward in larger chunks, the number of carrots it takes grows exponentially. To top it off, you can't cross the finish line first with more than 10 carrots in your stash. Hare and Tortoise is a unique and challenging race game that's been reprinted by several companies since it first appeared.
