  • From Electric Cars to Electric Football - The Evolution of Tudor Games

Electric football is a game that has captured the hearts of generations of enthusiasts. But did you know that this iconic game has its roots in another classic game made by Tudor, the Electric Auto Race game?

In 1937, Tudor developed the first version of the electric auto race game. The game used an electro-magnetic relay device to control miniature electric cars racing around a track. Over time, Tudor adapted this technology to create the first version of Electric Football.

Recently, a rare electric auto race game was discovered being sold by an eBay seller located in Lewisburg, TN. The buyer, an avid collector of Tudor games, was thrilled to find such a unique and rare piece. He was even more excited to learn that the seller was located nearby!

The game has now found a permanent home at The National ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Game Museum. It will be a treasured part of the exhibit for enthusiasts and historians alike. This incredible find is a testament to the evolution of Tudor Games and the ingenuity of game developers.
