Totopoly is a commercial board game, based on the events leading up to, and during, a horse race. Originally published in 1938 by Waddingtons, the game is based on a double-sided board, with each side representing a different half of the game.
This vintage Totopoly board game by Waddingtons is a rare early edition dating from the 1940’s. This edition features a large ‘book-style’ game board with separate box and wartime cardboard horses with jockeys mounted on wooden blocks.
