- Title translates as Antarctic Aeroplane Expedition Sugoroku (or boardgame).
- Antarctica is coloured in three different colours: areas known; areas not explored yet; ice.
- In this dice game of Antarctic polar exploration, each of the four players represents a different power: Japan, Germany, France, or the United States. The players start in Tokyo, Berlin, Paris and New York (located at the four corners of the board), and race each other to the South Pole in the centre, with penalties for hazards en route. The illustrated playing squares include one each for New Guinea (lakatois) and Australia (kangaroos).
- Published as a supplement to the popular children’s periodical, Nihon Shonen (Japan Boy), Antarctic exploration was global news in 1911, with a 1910-1912 Japanese Antarctic Expedition led by Nobu Shirase which reached Antarctica in autumn 1911, while Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen reached the Pole on 14 December 1911, five weeks ahead of the Robert Falcon Scott's British party from the Terra Nova Expedition.
