Escalado
''Escalado'' is a horse racing game created in the United Kingdom in which model race horse game pieces, originally made of lead, would make their way across a long fabric race track towards the finish line at the other end. The horses would move across the race track by means of a mechanical hand crank that vibrated the entire track in a random fashion such that it would simulate the events of a live race.
''Escalado'' was invented and patented in 1928 by Swiss inventor Arthur Gueydan and produced by United Kingdom based toy company Chad Valley.
==Game Details==
The game is played by at least two players, one of which must turn the hand crank that moves the game pieces along the track. The players place bets of whatever fashion they prefer on their prediction of which of several distinctively colored horses will cross the finish line first.
Originally, the game was released with a set of five colored horses made of lead, a green cloth fabric track, and a mechanical vibrating hand crank. Later versions of the game accommodated a total of eight colored horses made of non-poisonous metals (and much more recently, plastic) as well as yellow posts on the track that race horses were to navigate around.
