  • Description

    A horse-racing game.

    No dice, no skill! An unusual mechanism. Each horse moves by having its colour indicated by an arrow on the base of the last horse to move, on a variable track with the colours in varied sequence. Completely predetermined as soon as the track is laid and the first horse is chosen, but completely unpredictable.

    Re-implementation of:
    Alternardo (that game used the same basic mechanism, but with a fixed track of six lanes)
