In this race game, the track started at the hare's rear left foot, winds about between its back legs until space 8 was reached. Space 9 then appears on the tortoise, but the numbering reverts back to the hare with space 10. This apparent confusion was done on purpose, for as the instructions direct, any player "who carries his mark to a wrong number must pay 2 [counters] to the pool."
A pictorial lithographed label is pasted to the front cover.
The rules, with a briefly-told version of the fable, are printed on a sheet pasted inside the front cover.
