About the game

What is National Velvet

The game is divided into two parts.

In the first half of the game, players run their 'horses' around the paddock to train them (by collecting different coloured hurdle tiles).

When training is complete, all players enter the Steeplechase Race by playing their hurdles around the track to hinder their opponents. Horses require a certain event on a spinner to make a jump... each hurdle makes it more difficult.

The first person to cross the finish line in the big Race is the winner.
