(More customer reviews)This is a great game. I really enjoy it. I have to admit I was prepared to dislike this game. I don't like to gamble and have never been to a horse race. But this game offers a lot play value in a relatively short amount of time. The game takes place over the course of a horse race. Players can buy horses or bet on them. Buying a horse has some distinct advantages as your horse will move more often. Saving your money and betting on a winning horse is a good strategy too. The excitement builds as the horses near the finish line...
The Good stuff: The rules are simple, and easy to follow. The board is very helpful as it lists the actions players take each turn where everyone can see them. The game play is quick, and gives the feeling of horse race as the game progresses. One nice feature is that players can buy a horse (and collect money if thier horse wins) or bet on another player's horse. So there are diffent paths to victory. This is a great famly game beause everyone plays until the game is over, they you check to see who has won. No one gets eliminated.
The Not so Good Stuff: There doesn't seem to be enough money in the game to cover all of the payouts. Poker chips seem to work for most people in fixing this issue. Also the little stickers on the horse come off and need to be re-applied. Both of these are minor issues compared to the overall value of the game.
My family and I really like this game. We have played it often and it seems to have great re-play value. I recommend it for casual and family game players.
