In this micro Long Shot card game, players bet and perform actions at the track while the race unfolds. Your secret bets and clever horse moves are key to winning the most cash at the end of the race!

ROUND SEQUENCE:

1. REVEAL RUN CARDS:

The Active Player reveals the 4 Run cards, flipping them over 1 at a time to form a row. (Only the top half of the Run cards are relevant each round.) Run cards indicate the following:

Which horse advances 3 spaces.
Which two horses advance 1 space.
Which Actions can be selected.

2. ADVANCE THE 3 HORSES ON FOURTH REVEALED CARD:

The on the third revealed Run card point to the horse on the fourth revealed Run card that advances 3 spaces.
The remaining two horses advance 1 space each.


3. PERFORM ACTIONS:Begin with the Start player, then in clockwise turn order, perform one action associated with:

the horse number (for Advance, Bet, Deed)
at least one Action icon (for Cash, Eat)


After, you must flip a Run card face down that pertains to your Action.


4. BEGIN A NEW ROUND

GAME END AND SCORING:
The game ends immediately after a third
horse crosses the finished line (Track space 9). Players then reveal their Starting Bets and multiply them with the 3 finished horses’ Odds. Next, do thesame for any Bets placed at the Bookie card and add any remaining Cash for a final total. The player with the most money wins!—description from the designer
