Description
A horse race game with a difference.Each player is dealt 7 horse cards at the start of the game. Based on the values of these cards, which affect movement, the player then places up to six bets. Each bet is worth one chip, and all similar bets go into a common pool. A player plays a card for the horse he wishes to move and rolls the dice to move the coloured horse played. This continues until three horses have crossed the finish line. Whoever bet on the winning horse shares in the 'win' pool: the second horse, the 'place' pool and the third horse, the 'show' pool. Any odd chips remain for the next race.Because this is a 'closed' system (each player starts with only 10 betting chips), every time someone wins a chip, someone else will be down one.The winner is the one who has the most betting chips at the end of 10 races. - BoardGameGeek
