Description

Horse Racing Dice is a dice game using five special dice – a white handicap die, three red race dice and one hazard die. Players agree on the number of turns they will play, and on each turn a player rolls the handicap die first, then the three race dice. On the last turn, the players also roll the hazard dice. The handicap die has terms that add or subtract ‘lengths’ to or from a players roll (e.g. ‘on form’ adds a length, ‘off form’ subtracts a length). The race dice have numbers of lengths (also ‘necks’ which are worth a quarter length). The hazard die has hazards which subtract lengths or may even disqualify a player (e.g. ‘lost whip’, ‘fall/object’). The player with the highest number of lengths when the race is completed wins.
The game comes in a pocket book-sized container with a scoring pad and pencil.
