Fast Track is played with a standard deck of cards, fourteen of which are placed on the table to form the track and fourteen of which are dealt to the players (i.e. seven each) as the horses. The players simultaneously try to arrange their hands in an order which will get them all the way around the track. A horse card matching a track card in rank moves four spaces, in suit two spaces, and in color just one space. When a player thinks they can get around the track they announce this and their opponent checks their solution. After the first race players switch hands and play again. If the result is tied after this a third round is played with a new track.
