SECHS-TAGE-RENNEN
Schmidt Spiele, Germany, 1950/60s
The first thing that strikes about this game is that there is not much information in it. You only find the title in the rules (glued inside the box) and a tiny logo on the bottom-left corner of the cover (see pic) that says "Spiele Schmidt". With the rules it also says "nr 108/3", whatever it means.
The best thing of the game are the six tin cyclists.
The dice on the pictures are not original, I am afraid.
The game represents a six day race, so it features a clock to keep count of the time. Notice the red lines at 2, 15,and 22 hours, when special sprints take place.
Thanks to Siegfried Biehler for sending this game
UPDATE 2025:
Daniela Merela remarked the race sheet was missing from my copy and gave me one of hers. As you can appreciate (or guess), there were a bunch of those included with the game, and they were stapled together. In case they are missing from your game too, you can use this one. By the way, you can see that the game really represents a six-day race (as opposed to just being named after one, as was often the case in the heyday of six days). One of these days I will have to make a special section with these games (and possibly rewrite all the descriptions too!)
Many thanks, Daniela !
