	Description Edit \| History

This very classy-looking horse-racing game uses alternating cards and dice for movement. Each player has his own deck of cards, but a single dice throw will apply to all the horses. There are a number of fine-tuned rules about lane-changing, limits on speed for the leaders, dips into the deck for extra cards, etc. which make this into a nicely challenging tactical contest.
