About the game

What is Grand National Derby

This is the precursor to Titan: The Arena (later known as Colossal Arena) and Galaxy: The Dark Ages.

The theme is horses racing in a steeplechase. Each round represents a fence that the horses must jump.

Players bet and then place speed cards on each horse. When all of the horses have a speed card on them, the one with the lowest speed card is eliminated. When there are three horses left (which happens after 5 rounds), the players are paid for their bets on the surviving horses. Earlier bets are worth more.

The game in each case is essentially similar to Titan: the Arena except:
