Description

Get ready for a thrilling game of luck and skill with Odds On, a classic board game that's been a favorite since 1988. Designed by Malcolm Goldsmith and Michael Kindred, this game is perfect for 2 to 5 players aged 8 and up, and is incredibly easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained in no time. In Odds On, you'll take on the role of a horse racing enthusiast, where you'll decide the odds and let the dice decide the outcome. With seven specially numbered horse cards at your disposal, you'll need to strategically choose which horses to bet on and what their chances are of winning. The game is all about rolling the dice and trying to meet the odds you've set for your horses. With a "seven plus" horse card, you'll need to throw a seven or more on the dice, while an odds card of "four" gives you four attempts to succeed. If you succeed, you're on a winner, but if you fail, you'll lose one of your horse cards and your opponent could be one step closer to the winning post. The player with the most winning horses at the end of the game is declared the champion, making Odds On a fun and exciting game of chance and strategy that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
