HomeStretch (2012)

About this game

Game description from the publisher: Buy your own stable of horses and race them at various courses. Bet on horses to win, place, or show, and collect big race purses when your horse wins! More than twenty unique track cards are included in HomeStretch, so every game will be different. Luck and skill in picking the winning horses can bring you riches. HomeStretch is a fast-paced family game that will have you shouting for your horse to make it across the finish line!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
