What is Horse Fever

Horse Fever transports players to a setting based on the noir novels of the 1930s, where each player is called on to impersonate rich bettors that will use any means necessary to cause the bets they place to pay off. They will fix races, bribe bookmakers, make horses fall asleep, buy stables and borrow money from the Mob in order to gain victory for their bets.

Horse Fever has three different game modes: Board Game, Family Game and Party Game. These three different modes enable each kind of player to have a good time. The Board Game will enable expert players to discover a game based on an endless number of strategies; the Family Game will enable little players and families to get to know the basic game dynamics while playing a simpler but yet just as fun game; the Party Game will transform Horse Fever into a platform for a potentially endless number of players and turn any boring party into the most entertaining event of the century.

I give it a high score because I managed to enjoy it, but I wouldn't recommend to buy it: They tried to make it not language dependent by using only symbols on the cards; and ruined the game. I mean, if it have had text in te cards, it would be a good party-soul game with just a bit too much complexity. But with just these symbols helping you, you'll need 2 full games to get used to and enjoy the game, which is not meant for a fairly random party game. Also, the 6 rounds suggested by the rulebook are too much. The art, meeples and theme are amazing.

gracioso juego de apuestas el cual no debe tomarse como juego serio. El caos y el poco control sobre las carreras puede frustrar al jugador que no le guste el azar. Como juego ligero de duración media, sin muchas más pretensiones que provocar risas y burlas a los perdedores, esta bastante bien. Quizás un pelin largo para su finalidad real.
