Rules for Dusty Derby

Setup – The game can have 2-6 players ages 12 and up.

Game Components – Two Die, Game board, Horse Pieces, 2-6 players

Objective – The objective of the game is to become the first person to reach the finish line.

Actions players take – Each player will have a horse that they will use to move across the board. The players will have two die that they will role in order to see how far their horse will take them. Rolling doubles means you have to go back however high or low the number is. Some spots of the board will have carrots or apples where their horse will stop and eat. This means they have to skip their next turn so you do not want to land on these spots. Other spots will be an action spot where their horse has to role one of the two number combinations to be able to contuine on (ex. 3 on one die 4 on the other or 5 on one die and 2 on the other). If they cannot role one of the numbers in two tries, they have to move back 3 spaces. Continue on unitl everyone crosses the finish line.

Ending the Game – First person to reach the finish line wins.
