Derby

  • Description

    Horse racing board game.

    Every horse in the game (aged from 2 to 5 years) are fitted with a predetermined moving distance for each round in the track - there is no dice rolling. The movement is by itself deterministic and the track is of a fixed length. However the order of play and random events during the race affects the outcome.

    Between races the players can trade horses, buy stocks in betting companies or acquire companies. Money can be loaned from the bank, with interests to pay every round. Balancing between high investments (and high loans) and turning free of debt is part of the mechanics, with risk of being forced to take new loans just to pay off interests.
