This is a decorative racing game around both hemispheres of The World
The game itself has small globes representing latitude, longtitude,zones, circles and characteristics.It is a different game to that John Wallis game published in 1797. Paris now features as the place where Louis XVI was beheaded, but Australia still remains known for the convicts settlement. Captain Cook is still featured strongly. There is more information about North America than in earlier games
