Description

Get ready to experience the thrill of harness racing with John Campbell's Classic Harness Racing, a game that puts you in the driver's seat. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this game is easy to pick up, but don't be fooled - it's all about strategy and skill. You'll control your horse's speed, make tactical decisions, and navigate the track to drive your horse the farthest twice around. The game comes with a unique fabric-backed printed vinyl board, similar to a placemat, and a stable book featuring 200 horses to choose from, each with its own movement numbers. As you play, you'll use cards to move your horse, modifying your moves with spaces that count as two, variable length lanes, and chance cards that can either help or hinder your progress. With 2 to 7 players, the game is a fun and social experience, and the more players, the more challenging it gets. In fact, playing with 12 horses makes for a much more interesting game, as the movement-robbing mechanisms come into play, requiring you to outmaneuver your opponents. Endorsed by Hall of Fame driver John Campbell, this 1989 classic is a must-play for racing fans and anyone looking for a fun and strategic board game experience.
