How to Play

Before the Race

Players place starting bets based off of the cards in their hand - that's called insider trading. Starting bets begin with 3pt bets and go down to 1pt bets, indicated by the horse bet icons in the upper right hand corner. You can bet on the same horse another player has already bet on but the returns are diminished. Starting bets are taken in a snake order draft. Should you diversify or go long?

On Your Turn

1. Roll the dice to move a horse

Once all horses have moved past a card it gets flipped and played.

2. Play a card from your hand

Most cards have a move action and an alternate action which gives you tons of options. See the "MOVE" option on the left hand side and the "OR" hexagon alternate action in the upper right hand corner. With just the first two cards below there are 4 moves. You could...

Ending the race

Once a horse crosses the finish line the race is over. The player that moves a horse past the finish line, whether by rolling the dice or playing a card, gets to collect the horse token as a point for this race. 3 races make a complete game.

About

A game for my nephew

This game came from playing a rudimentary horse racing game with my nephew on a family vacation. We started introducing extra rules, player turns and cards with special abilities. I started calling it hi-voltage horse racing. After the trip I wondered what it would look like to build our version into a full-fledged game. I let the ideas run free like stallions thundering on the plains. They often kept me awake at night. I started printing ideas onto shipping labels and sticking them onto playing cards to test them out. As I weeded out the bad ideas more came to the fore.

My background

I'm a 90's kid and grew up playing Ninja Turtles games on the NES and GameBoy. I guess I never really grew out of that phase. About 10 years ago I started dabbling in graphic design which I parlayed into a small e-commerce store. Over the years I've developed a lot of the skills necessary to make a game. I never had plans or dreams to make a game but things change. This project has been so much fun and has felt like a gift. My dream is to bring this game's best version to life and that it would bring you joy and connection with your loved ones.- Evan
