Tortoise and Hare Template

This 11" long and 3.35" wide continuous 2-track non-linear Tortoise & Hare template is designed for use with a 1/8" standard drill. 

Each track has two starting holes, 120 playing holes, and finish hole.

The Tortoise and Hare is a novel, non-linear board and is our own invention. Its continuous, spiral course is the full 121 holes, but that's where normality ends.  The holes for one player start close together, then stretch out.  They take off really slowly, like a tortoise, sometimes a length or two behind, then catch up really fast at the end. Of course, their opponent has the opposite experience. They take off like a hare, really fast, and are soon lengths ahead.  But towards the end, they hardly move at all.  In fact, it's designed to make it hard to see who is winning at all, completely changing the bragging dynamic of the game.

Need something unique you can guarantee they don't already own?  Want to surprise your playing partner?  Try the Tortoise and Hare!

The board uses standard pegs designed for 1/8" holes.
