The Old Pacific: a Board Game Review From California to New York in a Packard Automobile Board Game by Ron Toelke, published by of the game, which is part of the company's American Adventure series, is a 1903 Packard trip from San Francisco to New York completed in sixty-one days. It was not the first, but the third such journey completed, nor was it the fastest motor vehicle to have so done, it having been done previously in fifty days by motorcycle. But in the superhighway/jumbo jet era, it is almost impossible for us to imagine what was required to drive unreliable cars over such a distance, especially in the west where roads and communication facilities were so few and far between. The game's two-page historical article, apparently prepared by personnel at the Henry Ford Museum, does a good job of detailing the historical background.
