According to wikipedia (from RC bell):

Race games are a large category of board games, in which the object is to move all of one's pieces to the end of the board. This includes the category of cross and circle games, such as pachisi, and the tables family of games, including backgammon. Although most race games involve an element of chance, some race games such as Arimaa are purely strategic. Race games are among the oldest known to archaeologists - the ancient Egyptians played senet, while the Royal Game of Ur is clearly a race game. A classic example of a race game is Snakes and Ladders. Running-fight games have gameplay similar to race games, but the object of the game is not to come first, but to remove enemy pieces from the board.
