Rules Overview - Breakneck Derby

About Breakneck Derby, from BoardGameGeek:

Breakneck Derby is a fast-paced card driven horse racing game for 1 to 10 players. Thoroughbreds race around the track based on cards played into a five-card Bonus Hand. Poker and cribbage inspired card play and hand building are easily learned, but guarantee wild, competitive action where no two races are alike. Push your horse down the straightaway by building hands. Take the inside track in the corners while blocking your opponents and pushing them outside to slow them down! Every card matters, and any horse can be moved by any player, so skillful play and a bit of luck are needed for victory. Play money and optional betting rules up the ante with head-to-head wagers and payoffs for win, place and show! (Note: betting components only included in Original Breakneck Derby.) Perfect for parties, game night, solo play, or a marathon session at the poker table, Breakneck Derby is ideal for families, friends, or more "competitive" social groups! Breakneck Derby Classic is a deluxe, hardwood and metal version of the game available from Big Ham Games for approximately $150 + shipping. Breakneck Derby "Pizza Box" edition is a smaller, inexpensive cardboard version available from Big Ham Games for approximately $35 + shipping. Original Breakneck Derby is only available through The Game Crafter for approximately $70 + shipping.
