Strategic Horse Racing Board Game
Players choose their jockey and are dealt 2 strategy cards. The jockeys race around the around the track for 1 1/4 mile. You can play strategy cards on your turn. You can also pick up cards off the track which are played right away. Use the tools the track gives you to send other opponents back or propel yourself forward. Ride the rails for a shorter race or take the outside track to grab cards to jeopardize your opponent.

During the race players will encounter bears, deer, goats, snakes and murder hornets while dealing with collusion, elbowing, impeding and broken legs. Then there's those nasty trade places cards. You collect cards by rolling doubles or by landing on an opponent and some cards allow you to steal a card from a player. If you can steal an opponents jockey card, they can't cross the finish line without one. The game plays differently every time. Oh wait, we have added a "death" card which is optional and should only be used if more than 2 players. Neigh cards are used to block actions of an opponent or have them miss a turn or to save your own hide. The cards coupled with the track makes for a hilarious game where the horses are all over the place.

It's the most fun you will have losing but you won't know who wins till last player goes.

There are 2 metal tins to hold the cards and the jockeys/dice. The Jockeys are metal and each one is hand painted a different color.
