About the Game

Components:

Folding Game Board, Set of 6 Dogs, set of "DOG" cards, set of "FORM" cards, betting chips for 8 players, race meeting cards and instructions.

Publisher's Description:

"Its a gamble! Study the form (different for each race), check the odds (favorites don't always win) and place your bets! Betting chips are provided so you don't have to bet with real money.

Fortunes to be won or lost! By studying the odds you may have more chance of winning -but, just as in real life, the outsiders can take the race -so a lucky name or number, a whim or a fancy, can sometimes serve you just as well!

The "Dogs" run against the turn of a set of specially formulated cards which automatically adjust the odds and form, which is determined before every race, so that the outcome of each race is as predictable (and unpredictable) as in the real world of dog racing.

Each race lasts around 5-8 minute. There are 10 races per card but you can play as many races as you like as each is excitingly different and unpredictable.

This really is an exciting game and you don't know the outcome of each race until the last card is played!"

Brief Notes:

Fast and interesting wagering game. Since you can play as many races as you want, it can be as quick as 10 minutes, or an all evening game if you wish.
