The other day, the creators of a game called Carnology, sent us a copy to take for a spin. The whole point of the game is to test your knowledge of cars. There are cards with pictures of automobiles from the 1900s through the 2000s and you have to guess what they are to advance. We like the concept because we have spent many hours attempting to identify passing cars on the street. That past-time provided the inspiration for this game and even our Name that Car column. Anyway, the game is high quality and recommended by us. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we started looking for other games that car guys might find interesting.

Carnology is brand new, but seeing as how this is a site about well-used stuff, we thought we should dig up some car-inspired games of the vintage variety. First off is this 1965 copy of Merger. This one is obviously a board game that lets players manipulate the automobile stock market. We have never played it, but it look like a good alternative to Monopoly. This particular copy is currently the only one for sale on eBay.

While on eBay we also ran across this card game entitled Touring. It was made for many years and we wouldn’t be surprised if a few of you have a copy in the closet. Now you can go on a road rally without ever leaving the kitchen! This set is the 1937 edition and is listed for about the same price of a new board game. We know this is not our standard offering here on Barn Finds, but we thought it might provide a nice change of pace. Do you guys have memories of any other car-related games?
