After reading other reviews, I decided to take a chance on this less expensive but fun looking version of the Horse Racing game. I am very satisfied with my purchase. The game is easy to learn, but no specific directions were included, and we watched an online video to learn. Haven't played it it with more than 2 people yet, but I think that would be much more fun. The money is very thin, and I think using your own coins would be better. I am satisfied with the look of the wooden board and horses-- the horses are permanently attached and arrived in the right order (as had been a problem in other reviews). Maybe someday we'll invest in a more expensive version, but this one satisfies our needs right now.
