Horse races is a fun game that can be a very fun game if there is a person who has a lot of energy and is very outgoing, this person will need to have the deck. This is another good game to play because all you need is a deck of card, a bigger table to play on and of course a big pitcher of beer.
To setup: the four Aces in the deck need to be pulled out and put in a row by themselves. Next the dealer places eight cards face down in front of each other next to the Aces. So before you start the design will look like an L.
Before you start each player must pick out which suit (Ace=horse) will win the race. Every player then determines how many drinks they “bet” on the horse, any player can choose anywhere from 1 drink to a full cup. When the race is over, depending on which horse (suit) wins determines which players will be able to give out drinks and which players have to take the drinks. If the player made the correct bet, they are then able to give out however much was bet previous to the start. If they player bet on the wrong horse they have to take the amount of drinks that they originally bet.
How the race works: This is best done when the dealer acts like it is an actual race and gets excited about every card that is flipped over. The dealer flips over the left-over cards to determine which horse moves up (the suit that is flipped moves that card forward), the first horse that passes the 8 cards wins. Once every horse has passed the card face down on the side, that card is flipped over and whatever suit it is, that horse must be moved back. The first horse to move past the flipped over cards win, and a new race is started.
