THE COUNTY FAIR GAME

It's fair season across the board!

ABOUT

This is the American county fair on a game board.  Buy a lemon shake and corn dog or a hot sausage sandwich.   Win a ribbon for your roses and your Jersey cow.  Take a turn at a midway game, and hurry to the harness races!


You can almost hear the animals under the sun with The County Fair Game!  Choose your own course across 'the fairground' -- You can move in any direction at random or chart your path more methodically.  The game is already a classic.  There is no board like it.




GAME PLAY:   Players begin with $85 to spend 'at the fair' by buying cotton candy, sausage sandwiches, grandstand show tickets, French fries, a mower, tractor and more!  At the same time, players must win ribbons and badges and stuffed animals.  You can earn winnings at the three horse rings and feature buildings.  POST TIME spaces send you to harness racing at the track, where the race for winnings is fast and fun!


Bees, pies, pumpkins, scouting, roosters, horse competitions, cattle, tractors, baby goats, crocheted blankets, photography and quilting, a blacksmith shop and a marching band are represented here for you to enjoy at home with friends.


Playing time ranges from 45 to 60 minutes -- For 2-4 players


Made in the USA  (except for the number die)
