Animals Race

Betting on racers

Animals Race is a party racing game for 2 to 6 players. You don't control the animals directly. Instead, you bet on five racers: a Cheetah, Kangaroo, Pig, Penguin and Turtle. Each round, cards determine which animals move forward, and you draft cards to support the racers you think will place first, second or third.

Drafting and scoring

Fast animals such as the Cheetah have more cards in the deck and move quickly. Slower racers such as the Turtle pay out more points if they win, so choosing cards means weighing a likely finish against a bigger reward for an underdog.
