There are things to watch: long shots can pay off hugely and if someone bets high they can really get ahead - you have to keep in mind which race is being run for how much prize money, who has how much funds they are likely to bet and trying to stop them if you can. There is also a set of mischief cards to help you create havoc with the other horses and riders in the race. The elected bookmaker controls the game--lane placings are drawn before each race, and the horse that draws the inside lane starts. There are also defensive cards to allow remounts and, in the tumultuous final race, cards that can disrupt or even alter the final outcome such as objections and photo finishes. Edit: This one seems to be the highest ranked horse game from board game fans, and it looks like it has different serious-ness levels for whether you want to play with adults, families or just have a kind of party game.What tends to happen is that in the first two or even three races everyone behaves themselves, just to see how the rolls of the dice and the game plays out. Once the race begins, players roll a die and choose which horse advance based on the resulting symbol. I really like it as well, a friend of mine got married (his third, her second) and they explicitly told everyone "no gifts", but since his wife has mentioned it every time she saw us after she played it, I bought it for them. How the horses are moved and dependant on what you throw on the dice, throw a 1, the horse moves 1 length, throw a 2, the horse moves 2 lengths forward, this is the same if a 3, 4, 5 or 6 is thrown. Your horse will need to come first, second or third, but if you are anything like me, there is no competition as my ultimate goal was to make sure my horse came first.

As it is a game for ages 12 and up, I waited until I could get my grown-up nephew and my parents to help with the review. Please note that some areas are considered by DHL and UPS to be "Remote Areas" and surcharges are incurred for Express shipments. At the end of each race the prize winnings are handed out, so players can then use the money accrued to place their bets for the next race.For me long shots twice paid off hugely for me in back to back games resulting in one person saying he'd never play again!
