Draft Horse is a two-player card drafting and set collection game. It's played over five rounds with each round consisting of three phases: deal, draft (where you collect horse and cargo cards), and play (where you load the cargo, hitch the horses, send shipments, and score points). At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins. The gameplay of Draft Horse is fast and smooth making it very easy to pick up and play over and over again. Its small package makes it great to bring along to the pub or coffee shop. Draft Horse can prove to be a tricky puzzle, however, as every round surprises you with multiple options and difficult choices. Draft Horse comes with three expansion cards which make the game more variable and dynamic and an advanced scoring mode that makes the game more strategic, giving players the chance to score end-game bonus points.
