From the rules: 'This is a most exciting game, full of thrills from start to finish. A wonderfully entertaining game for family and friends. It differs from other race games in that the players do not assume ownership of the greyhounds, but participate only in betting on the results of the races'.Four players operate the 'win', 'place',tote-double' and 'forecast' pools and issue tickets to the bettors. A dice is rolled to decide which of six greyhounds move. The player with most money after a series of races is the winner.The box of components is separate from the board. Components consist of betting tickets, money, six cardboard greyhounds on metal bases, and a die. The board consists of a greyhound race track in the middle of the board and various betting areas around the track. - BoardGameGeek
