Questions & Answers

A specific age was not mentioned in the article. Can this game be understood by the age range you think it could be?

It is my pleasure to refer to my grandchildren as my four-year-olds. This game is understood by them both and is played by them both.

Which game do you like to The process of figuring out what it is took too long, so I did not buy it. In order for impulsive buying to take place, it should be impulsive. Is that funny?

This is not at all difficult, but it sounds confusing. A group of 4+ people has the most fun. A full deck of cards is dealt. Equivalents to the horses are on the cards The number 2 is the horse number 2 In their respective ages, Jack is 11 and Queen is 12. As you shake dice, you will determine the four "scratched" horses. Once all dice have been rolled, begin to shake them. The order in which you pay the coins to the scratched horse is determined by their position (we mostly use nickels or quarters). You move a moving racing horse forward one hole when you roll it. So whoever holds those 4 cards splits the pot as the winner of the race is the first horse to cross the finish line. This game is awesome!

It comes with a carrying bag so the horses and dice can be transported. ?

It is true that the horses and dice will fit in a drawstring bag

That's a lot of money for horses made of plastic
3/5

The first time I heard about this game was when a friend introduced it to me. Throughout the whole game, I was blown away by the quality and the whole experience. and horses had a nice look and were made out of After I placed the order on Amazon, I immediately went to Amazon to buy My apologies for not reading the whole article, but for 80 dollars, this should have been of a higher There are no horses on the board, and the board is very heavy, but not as nice. I was very disappointed when I discovered Is that true? What do you get for That makes me very unhappy! When is the high quality game going to come out? For that one, how much will you have to spend?.

The quality is poor! Recently we bought this game after playing at the home of friends
3/5

We have been truly disappointed with this purchase. There are so many fun things to do in the game! Although I spent $90 on this board, I am disappointed with its quality! As opposed to our friends game board, which had horses of a heavier quality, almost metal-like feel, our horses are made from very cheap plastic. There are at least four gold metal things in the holes that are bent, so the horses can't sit in the holes properly. There are bubbles in several places and the edges of the game board labels are lifting. Compared to our game board, our friends' was a lot better built. With $90 spent on a slab of wood, you expect the details and quality to be at the very top of the line!.

It is important that this game is of high quality at this price! This is a game I have played in a variety of places and I I do think they should send a few extra horses as they are tight and hard to move from the slots on the one I received
3/5

The workmanship of the one I received is not as good. The stickers do not stick and the horses are difficult to remove from their slots.

It is probably overpriced, but it is a I HOLY COW, or I HOLY HORSE
5/5

Play this game if you like it. As well as being expensive, it is also difficult to find. With the gift cards I received, I waited to get this for myself as a birthday gift. Although there is quality in this, it is a little disappointing how corners have been cut for such a low price. Similarly, the horse numbers you see on the board are not painted on, but rather decals that you need to adhere yourself, and some of the labeling on the board is a vinyl decal I would have used decals instead of paint, adding a "heirloom" quality to the item. While the gameplay itself is great, and it is fun to play, the game as a whole is fantastic too. My family of three has been with us when playing and my family of 10 has been with us when playing. The sport is enjoyed by all ages. Each player groans or shouts at the roll of the dice, and when the 12 horse comes out of nowhere to win, it can be exhilarating or crushing depending on which player In case there are large groups, I recommend having a set of poker chips available or a large amount of coin change on hand (nickels, dimes, and quarters).

Game night with the group will be a lot of fun with this one! You should play this game
5/5

It's great! At a friends house, we played with a semi-large group of people, and it was a lot of fun! I didn't realize the price was that high, but we wanted one for ourselves to play with family and friends. spent a lot of money on the Walnut and it's gorgeous. Horses are the only thing I would complain about. Instead of plastic, I'd like to see them made from metal. There are a few of them that are difficult to remove and chip away at the plastic a bit when removed from the grommets. The only thing we try to do is not push those pieces in too This game is worth the money if you like it and are on the fence about spending the money. Well, you get what you pay for. I tried to find a cheaper version online. A defect in the piece and a poor build forced me to return it. With this set, you won't be disappointed.

simple yet fun game that everyone in the group can enjoy, yet are easily modified to meet specific needs
5/5

Playing horses racing is a favorite pastime for all of us. A deck of cards is also needed in order to play the game. As a family, it's a lot of fun to play this game. It is sometimes fun to play with our grandson and granddaughter aged 11 and 7. If you want something more adult, you can give your friends the adult version of this game. If you have one, you might want to bring it You can play this game with money, chips, or you can use pieces from another kids game as chips, like we do with our grandchildren. If you do not want to use anything, you do not have to. Despite not being able to bet, you will still be able to participate in the game.

Pieces made of cheap plastic that are fun to play with
3/5

My friends and I played this game one evening and I decided to buy it the next day. Getting started is a lot of fun, and the more players there are, the more fun it is. The game is easy to play and everyone gets involved, so by the time the race winner crosses the finish line, everyone is shouting like you're at the real race! The horses are made of cheap plastic, therefore it is my complaint. We received horses that were a contrast to the really nice wood board we received. A few (like four or five) of the horses had metal pegs that did not fit correctly into the holes. Some of the pins were so tight they could not be loosened. assume the metal sleeves were all made to be much more precise in their measurements. For one of the horses, I had to shave the peg in order to make it As a result, it is too loose now. However, there are playable modes. This game is a nice game to play, except for the plastic horse pegs that stick together.

Having fun is a big part of what we do
5/5

I appreciate your kind words. This game is loved by everyone in our family, even by our 7 year old. Our grandson is eight years old. You determine the number of nickels you will pay for a scratched horse based on the number you roll, and the winning horse or horses earn the prize. Having fun is a big part of what we do. Please accept my sincere thanks.
