About this board game

Horse Fever is a horse-racing board game for 2–6 players, with a play time of about 90 minutes. Released in 2009, it places players in a noir-inspired world based on the novels of the 1930s.

Each player impersonates a rich bettor determined to make their wagers pay off. Victory comes from using strategy and any means necessary to support the bets you place, creating a setting filled with risky decisions and underhanded schemes.

Players can fix races, bribe bookmakers, make horses fall asleep, buy stables, and borrow money from the Mob. These possibilities give the game its distinctive atmosphere while encouraging players to pursue different strategies as they work toward victory.

Horse Fever includes three different game modes, making it suitable for experienced players, families, and larger social gatherings:

• Board Game: An expert-focused mode built around an endless number of strategies.
• Family Game: A simpler version that introduces children and families to the basic game dynamics while remaining fun to play.
• Party Game: A format designed for a potentially endless number of players and lively group entertainment.

Whether you want a deeper strategic experience or a more accessible way to enjoy the theme, Horse Fever offers multiple ways to play. Its combination of horse-racing bets, manipulation, and noir-style ambition creates a memorable game night for groups of different sizes.
