Amy O’Toole

Game 1

Horse:

The aim of the game is to arrive at your destination with the most Points.

Rules

Can play with up to 4 people.

Every time you pass a horse or a horse related object * you shout out horse.

You can only say one horse per field e.g.. If you pass a field full of horses it only counts as one point.

The Twist

If you pass a graveyard the first player to say “graveyard” keeps their points but all the other players points get cancelled out.
