Turfmaster, Derby (Jägersro), Grand National and Win Place and Show are great horse racing boardgames too.

The older 3M ( and later AH )’s Win, Place & Show. It’s ingenious, with each horse having their own ‘personality’. The randomness die rolling leans towards the skill side ( as track ‘speed’ effects ALL horses evenly, and ‘bonus’ is predictable probability-wise). Surprised it didn’t make the list

One of your best reviews…..possibly the 3rd time I’ve watched it. Living in NZ and now the proud owner of about a hoof of a horse with some mates so am going to invite the “syndicate” round for a horse racing games night….this helped massively. Based on availability here, probably “Ready Set Bet” or “Long Shot The Dice Game”..thx mate!

Excellent video! Unfortunately I've never come across either Horse Fever or Ave Caesar so I don't own them, never played them, and know nothing about them. The other games I do have, and they're all excellent, not taking themselves at all seriously, and pumping out tons of fun because of this.

Walter Muller's 1989 game, Favoriten, was the prototype for many of the racing/betting games we see today. Briefly: 6 horses, 1d6. On your turn, roll the dice 6 times, once for each horse. You have 3 betting tokens, and the earlier you place your bets, the better your score, and, like Ready, Set, Bet, you can only place 1 token per space. However, betting 2nd on the winner scores you fewer points than betting 1st on the 2nd placed horse etc. Clever and devious.

Long Shot is a good game, but doesn’t even hold a candle to Horse Fever in terms of emotions, options and strategy. More Family/Party game. Don’t agree on HF being complicated as a full game. Me and my wife - non-gamers and non-Italian or English speakers - easily digested the rules of the full game from the get-go. Lots of fun. Constantly fan of Yours.

A favourite genre as it easily accommodates 6 players and everyone is familiar with the theme. Ave Caesar and Royal Turf are high on our list of most-played fillers. For a deep dive for deep pockets consider AZA Turfmaster. No love for Totopoly? Me neither.
