At The Races is a racetrack game that combines the satisfying play of a great team game with the excitement of the racetrack.
Compete by training, sabotaging and betting strategically to earn the most money over six races. (No real horse-racing experience required!)
How is At the Races different?
Game Description
The event starts with a two minute video that sets the stage and explains how to play. The game is very simple and every player has a choice of only three actions. However, deciding how and when to take your actions affects the outcome of the race and means no two games are ever the same.
The game is played over a series of six races. Each race starts with a short overview of the track and conditions, then an action phase for about four minutes when teams strategize together and make their decisions. A shared display on shows constantly changing payouts of the horses as people take their actions. Do you grab a great price early on (but signal your interest in that horse) or do you wait for others to play their hand and dive in at the last minute?
After the action phase the host brings all the teams back to watch the race and cheer together. When the race is over, the winning teams are announced. A short period of celebration, taunting and groans is quickly followed by the next race where it’s back to your teams to adjust your team strategy and try again.
At the Races is quick to learn and fun to play. While everyone plays individually and chooses their own actions, the game consistently proves that teams that plan and coordinate their actions together are the most successful - and who doesn’t like to win?
