Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Add some excitement and a real adrenaline rush to your next get-together. The Horse Race Game is one of those games your friends will ask for again and again. Players line up their horses at the gate, pay entry fees and place bets. Then roll the dice to move the horses forward or add to the purse. The anticipation grows as the pot gets bigger and the horses advance, till one crosses the line and the ""owners"" share the winnings-it's a different race every time and anyone can win! 8 years and up

Product Description

And down the stretch they come! Bring the excitement of the track into your own home with this board game tribute to the sport of horse racing! In fact, it's the official board game of the Kentucky Derby. Don't worry - you can't lose any real money in this game - you're playing with fun money! Players pay a $1.00 entry fee and are then dealt cards with racehorses on them, such as Skybiscuit and Peace Admiral. Some unlucky horses have been scratched from the race. If you roll the number of a scratched horse, you'll have to pay the pot! If you roll the number of a remaining horse, that horse advances a spot. You'll experience the rush of a neck-and-neck horse race, board game style! Only one horse will cross the finish line first - will it be the favorite, or will Longshot Louie take the prize? If your horse wins, you'll collect the pot. The person with the most Fun Money at the end of the game, is the winner. Game comes with Game Board, Fun Money, Horse Cards, Dice, Plastic Racehorses, and Game Instructions. For 6 or More Players, Ages 8 and Up.

We always pull this game out when friends are over because it gets everyone on their feet! We all end up yelling and cheering, rooting on our horse! Many of my friends have even gotten this game after playing it at my house. Great time!

I own the Fundex version of this game that was discontinued. In this game, the horses simply sit on top of the board. While game place is the same, the quality isn't near as good.
