Horse Show (1997)

About this game

In Horse Show, players attempt to take home the most Blue Ribbons by winning different events in 4 shows. Each show, every player will select 5 cards (a combination of horses and equipment) to take to the show. The events are revealed, and simultaneously, each player reveals which horse they have competing in that event. Highest total wins the ribbon. The catch is, the horses that didn't win get to go back to the player's stable, while the horses that did win are out for the rest of the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
