A strange one! A real curiosity. The board is replaced by two rolled paper bands in a plastic mechanism on which you place the riders. After the throw of the dice, you don't count squares but rather wind the mechanism.

 

The game is just a game of goose, in spite of the gadgets. Instead of going back to square 31 you pick up some extra days, the winner being the one getting to Paris in less days (dice throws).

This game is not difficult to date: the first two riders are Anquetil and Poulidor in their St Raphael and Mercier costumes.

a) This was obviously before the neo-capitalist wave in which image rights are so thoroughly protected (I cannot imagine two rival cycling superstars giving away their image rights for free nowadays).

b) Of course (a) is a joke. Anquetil and Poulidor were rivals in 1962, 1963 and, specially, in 1964, during the famous Puy De Dome stage. Obviously the game is later than that stage. Compare the pictures:
