In brief
The object is to see which player will first become the President of the Telegraph Company. The players move metallic messenger boy pawns around a spiraling track. Some spaces direct a piece to advance for meritorious service. Spaces reflecting misbehavior direct a piece to go back, or sometimes to prison which requires a return to the start upon release. The first player to reach the center space by exact count wins the game.
