Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Welcome to The Really Nasty Horse Racing Game--the game designed to stimulate your worst instincts and get you to use cunning and deviousness to your best advantage.

The game comes complete with all pieces needed to play--horses and jockeys, lane cards, Really Nasty cards, a riderless horse to create more havoc and the usual dice, pencil and money. The object of the game is to win the most money at the race meeting and this can be done in one of two ways. Firstly, by getting your horse placed first, second or third in the race and secondly, by placing bets on winning horses.

So, how does the game go? Each player gets a number of Really Nasty cards, £20,000 cash and of course, the betting slip. The game lasts for a race meeting of six races. Each player gets six horses, one for each race. The horses are graded 1 to 6--1 being the best horse and 6 being the worst horse. Before racing starts each owner has to decide which race each horse will run. There are other matters too, such as working out the betting odds, and lots of shady dealings will likely ensue.

The elected bookmaker controls the game--lane placings are drawn before each race, and the horse that draws the inside lane starts. Movement is decided by a throw of the dice--one length forward for one, two lengths for two and so on. There are rules that control the manner of racing as well, such as changing lanes, cornering and blocking, plus the special Early Pace, Quicken Up and Finish Well sections that give extra momentum for your horse. There is also a set of mischief cards to help you create havoc with the other horses and riders in the race.

This game really is brilliant--it lets you bow to your worst instincts without any apologies. Great fun for get togethers. --Ben King

Product Description
Enjoy a 'day at the races' when you play this devious horse racing game. Just as in a real race meeting, players race their horses around the board to win at all costs. Be devious, bet on your own horse or someone else's, but don't tell anyone whom you've bet on. 12 Years +

4.0 out of 5 stars Remove all sharp objects from the room!, 22 Oct 2002
By A Customer
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This is an adult game which lives up to its name. A wickedly nasty streak gives a player a distinct advantage in this mixture of snide betting and devious racing tactics.
The game defninitely works best with at least 4, preferably the full 6 players as well as an adequate supply of wine & snacks as it can take quite a while to complete the full race meeting.
Choose your opponents wisely - preferably those who won't bear a grudge as this game inevitably results in some serious rows as you call a stewards' enquiry just as your opponent thinks he's won the top prize. And remove all forks unless you want one in the back of your hand!
Excellent fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!, 6 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This game arrived amongst the other Christmas parcels and at first we thought "horse racing, fun?".

4 days and about 20+ playing hours later I'd recommend it to anyone.

It really encourages the evil streak we all possess to jump to the forefront.

There is nothing more satisfying than hemming in an opponent, watching the horses line up at the jump because everyone is scared to land on the hedge, playing one of your nasty cards and then watching your 50:1 outsider romp home to victory.

Being an outrageous risk taker there were many games I finished broke or with minimal cash, but there was the one where I won £10 million :D

Even the games where I was broke were fun, because I still got to cause havok on the track.

Be warned though if you are a bad loser this deffintely is NOT the game for you...

It is probably best suited to adults to fully appreciate the game, and alcohol really just adds to the experience!

I don't think it is going to get as much floor time as Jenga, Monopoly or Scrabble in the long term, but I think it will always be one of the "pull it out the cupboard for a quick shot and rediscover the joys" games. More of a play it every few months, than every week, type game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Brilliant!!, 4 Dec 2005
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
My brother gave me this game as a Christmas present (2004) and we have played it more than any other board game in the subsequent year. OK, so it is fairly complex to pick it up the first time (I would recommend remaining relatively sober until you've got to grips with it). But spending a bit of time to learn the rules at the beginning is definitely worth it, as the game-play is so rewarding. We've had players aged from 12 to 60+ enjoying it. Even the most mild-mannered ones end up using their cunning to sabotage the outcome!! MUCH less boring than Monopoly (which seems to drag on) every player has a stake in every move, so your interest is maintained throughout.
