Description

This is a horse racing game played on a felt game board. Each player is assigned a horse. The dealer turns over cards to move horses. The color on the cards corresponds to the color of the horse to move, and the number of marks on the card indicates the distance to move. Each player has four certain number of "whips" to play. If the player uses a whip, their next movement value is doubled. Cards are reshuffled and continue to be drawn until a horse wins. Obstacles include fences and water jumps. If a player's horse lands in one of the penalty spaces, it may lose a turn or be removed from the game. The first horse to the finish line wins the game. —user summary
