Race game is a large category of board games, in which the object is to be the first to move all one's game pieces to the end of a track.
Description
This is both the earliest type of board game known, with implements and representations dating back to at least the 3rd millennium BC in Egypt, Iraq, and Iran
Race games are also the most widely dispersed: "all cultures that have games at all have race games."
Race games often use dice to decide game options and how far to move pieces.
