Really Nasty Horse Racing Game

Product Information

Even if a player's horse passes the finish line, the celebrations may need to be delayed. There are Really Nasty Cards which can call for a photo finish (if another horse is able to finish in one dice roll after the winner) or for a Stewards Enquiry. These can completely alter the outcome of the race. Your horse will need to come first, second or third, but if you are anything like me, there is no competition as my ultimate goal was to make sure my horse came first. Remember, be cagey, cunning, whatever it takes to make sure you and your horse wins. You will need your wit about you as you will need to work out the odds when placing your bets too.

I remember in some past discussions on F:AT about alternative cards...that would be useful, I think, if there would be any tweaks or home rules.Someone will need to be chosen as the bookmaker as they will need to take control of the game. We each threw the dice and whoever scored the highest became the bookmaker.

They always arrive perfectly and undamaged which is important to me. There is also prize money awarded for each race. Some races are more prestigious with more prize money on offer. So things worked out for me and if I had been last both times I might feel different. I love this game. There might be other better horse racing games but I've never been tempted to look at them.Whether it’s a rainy Sunday afternoon or a raucous festive treat, nothing brings family and friends together quite like a board game. From traditional board game favourites like Monopoly, Scrabble and Cluedo to modern board games like Balderdash, Scatergories and Taboo.

Of course, with some traditional games, it is the sheer simplicity that makes them work. For example Jenga, Connect 4 or dominoes don’t need a board and so can be played almost anywhere. You can even find giant versions of these games to play in your garden in the summer months. It does come down to rolling well, but there is plenty of tension and plenty to do to complicate things for others or to help yourself. We haven't even played that often, but this game is a gem.

The first edition, if you can find it, is the best. It has the big whiteboard on an stand for the odds. Newer editions you're supposed to just write it on the board. Also, the earlier ones have miniatures, new ones have these kind of weird flat plastic stand-ups. Conjure up your most devious plan as your main goal and objective is to win as much money as you can at the races and the good thing about this, there are a couple of ways to do this. At the end of each race the prize winnings are handed out, so players can then use the money accrued to place their bets for the next race. Players can choose not to bet if they’re short of money, in which case they would have to race for the prize money.You start the game with a stable of horses numbered from one to six, with one being the fastest. During the race the players move their horses around the board, either trying to reach the finish line before the others or attempting to make sure the horse they bet on finishes first. How fast a horse moves depends on their grade, which is assigned at the beginning of the race and gives them a certain amount of leeway with dice roles, also giving players clues on who to bet on depending on the size of the stakes. Grades revolve with each subsequent race, so every horse gets to be the fastest horse at least once.

I am extremely competitive, think monopoly for frustration and competitiveness and times that by 10, this game really did bring the worst out it me. I like the action, and the player screwage, it makes every race important and the end of the game ensures that everyone is it until the end.
