Derby Day

2–6 players · 20 min · 8+

This is an old horse racing game where 6 horses race across a track of 16 spaces. In the basic game each player is represented by a horse. 3 dice are thrown and you move your horse forward 1 space each time your horses number shows up. You would move 2 or 3 spaces if doubles or triples are rolled for your horses number. The first player to reach the finish post space is the winner. The rule book also has optional rules including 2 steeplechase variations.
