Ticket Gagnant (2023)

About this game

In Ticket Gagnant ("Winning Ticket") the players are horse racing handicappers. Players share their predictions on which horses will win the race. Before each race, depending on the movement cards they have in hand, players select on their prediction card, 1, 2 or 3 horses they think will finish among the top 3 spots. Then the race begins and players take turns playing their cards to move their favorite horses during the race. At the end of the race, points are awarded according to the accuracy of the predictions and players will move their token on the scoring board. After several races, the winner is the player with the most points on the scoring board. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
