PLAYED FOR YOU

SAddle Fast

The riding lesson at the riding stable goes a bit haywire today, all is higgledy-piggledy and horses move as the want. Can you manage to get your horse along the track and across the finish all the same?

The lid of the game box is set into the bottom of the box to serve as game board; each player takes one of the horses and puts it on the starting spot. You roll the die and move your horse forward in counter-clockwise direction. Occupied spots are passed and not counted. If the result of the roll is -1 your horse senses danger and shies, you must go back one spot. Horses immediately behind your horse must go back, too. IF you reach one of the spots marked in color, your horse leaves the regular outside track: From the blue spot you move the small circle, called Volte. You must stop on the blue dot within the volte and pass a turn; any steps that you might have left are forfeit. From the red spot in the outer track you must ride the big circle; you follow the red arrows and at the end of the circle move back onto the outside track. The same happens when your turn ends on the green spot; you must ride the biggest circle of all and follow the green arrows until you are back on the outside track. If your horse is the first to reach the finish you win the game immediately.

This is a charming little game for all occasions. Basically you just roll the die and move your horse. The charm of the game comes from the elegant box, its practical use as a game board, the easy playability anytime and anywhere and the fast explained exceedingly simple rules. Little pony fans, of course, love the topic, too.
