If a Joker is drawn the horse in first place moves back one space. If it’s a tie they both move back. The Horse Race Drinking Game is perfect for a small group looking to just flip some cards and have some drinks. It’s the next closest thing to waking up drunk at the tracks with a second mortgage on the house. The winner is the first horse to make it past the top row of the side cards. Players wager a certain number of drinks on their horse, which they can give out at the end of the race if they win. The losers must drink double the number of drinks that they wagered, in addition to the drinks given out by the winner. Pick a racer and hit go. Cheer for your racer. If you picked wrong, drink. If you picked right, give a drink.

First person to the left of dealer rolls both dice. The total number is the first “money” horse. Move this horse back one space BEHIND the line. Anyone holding this number in their hand discards that card and pays the pot. Example: A 2 & 5 are rolled. The 7 horse is moved back one space. Anyone with a 7 in their hand throws it in the discard pile and puts 25 cents in the pot. If someone has two 7’s, they will throw 50 cents in the pot and discard both 7’s, three 7’s is 75 cents, and four 7’s is $1.00. Now anytime a 7 is rolled, the person rolling the dice will add 25 cents to the pot.

Then next person to the left rolls both dice. The total number is the second “money” horse. Move this horse back two spaces BEHIND the line. Anyone holding this number in their hand discards that card and pays the pot (50 cents) for each card. If the person happens to roll the previous number (say the 7 from the example) they will pay the 25 cents and roll again.

The next person to the left rolls both dice. The total number is the third “money” horse. Move this horse back three spaces BEHIND the line. Anyone holding this number in their hand discards that card and pays the pot (75 cents) for each card. If the person happens to roll either of the previous numbers (say the 7 from the example) they will pay the amount for the number and roll again.

The next person to the left rolls both dice. The total number is the fourth and last “money” horse. Move this horse back four spaces BEHIND the line. Anyone holding this number in their hand discards that card and pays the pot ($1.00) for each card. If the person happens to roll either of the previous numbers (say the 7 from the example) they will pay the amount for the number and roll again. These four horse will not move again during this game.

Now the game can begin! The next person rolls the dice. The total of the dice indicates the number horse to move one space FORWARD. If a “money” horse number is rolled, the person who rolled it pays the pot the required amount and the dice are passed to the next player. Continue rolling the dice, moving horses forward or paying the pot until one horse reaches the end. The first horse to reach the finish line (last space) is the winner. All players holding that number card wins a fourth of the pot. If a player is holding two winning cards they receive half the pot, three winning cards will receive three quarters of the pot, and four winning cards will receive all of the pot. If there is any extra money that can not be split equally will stay in the pot for the next game.
