Date: 1906
Publisher: Wallie Dorr Company
Designer: Not Credited
Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Touring is an early auto racing game, published in numerous editions through 1975 and the inspiration for Mille Bornes, which is still in print today.
More About Touring: Players compete to be the first to complete a trip of 590 miles by playing mileage cards. Your opponents try to slow you down with cards like "puncture" and "out of gasoline." Touring was picked up by Parker Brothers in 1925.
