Description
Ben Hurt is a thrilling chariot-racing game that's all about strategy and a little bit of luck. With 4 to 8 players competing, the game is easy to learn but challenging to master. Before the race begins, players engage in a round of card auctioning, where the goal is to snag the best cards at a low price while forcing opponents to overspend. The twist is that the winning pot is made up of the auction bids, so players must carefully balance their spending. As the race gets underway, luck plays a big role, and even the best-laid plans can be derailed by a few poor dice rolls. With a playtime of just 60 minutes, Ben Hurt is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for a fun night with friends. Designed by James Ernest and first published in 1996, this classic game is still a blast to play today.
