Derby Days

Description

A simple die-rolling race game with an equestrian theme. Noteworthy is the unusual board, which features hurdles whose bars can be moved up and down to any of four numbered positions. When you clear a hurdle, you reset its bar to the position corresponding to the die's *bottom* facing (i.e., the face opposite that which you just rolled). "What happens when it's a 5 or 6", you say. Cleverly, this is never an issue because the "5" has been replaced by a horseshoe symbol (with special rules) and the "6" is of course opposite "1", and 1 is never sufficient to clear a hurdle.
