A game capable of being played by one or more players wherein the object is to beat the tortoise to the finish line and/or also beat the competing players. The game includes a gameboard which has a circular path defined thereon for the tortoise with a guide ring to guide the circular travel path of the tortoise. In addition, a tortuous path is provided for movement of the rabbits. The tortuous path is composed of plural spaces of different colors. The tortoise includes an interior standard spring motor which when wound drives a shaft which includes a drive wheel at one end positioned beneath the tortoise and a ball tumbler including a plurality of different colored balls and a window or windows positioned above the tortoise. The tortoise also includes a depending plate so that the tortoise is supported by means of a pair of spaced dimples on the plate and the drive wheel. When the tortoise place on its path, the drive wheel will rotate and cause the tortoise to traverse the circular path, the radius of curvature of the path being designed to be less than that of the circular guide ring so that the tortoise is guided around the circular path by the guide ring. Since the drive wheel is powered by the same shaft as the ball tumbler, the rotation of the shaft will cause different colored balls to be seen at a window. These balls are used in accordance with the game rules to permit movement of the rabbits in the prescribed manner.
