This race to the end board game is based on the popular card game Lost Heir, which was based on the 1872 novel, The Lost Heir of Linlithgow by the widely-read 19th century author, Mrs. Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth (commonly referred to as E.D.E.N. Southworth). The game comes with a spinner, playing pieces and game board, with spaces featuring characters along the outer edge of the board that look like the pictures on the card game. These spaces give instructions for the players to go to another character, move forward or back, lose a turn, etc. The winner is the player who lands, by exact count, on The Heir space in the middle.
