About the game

What you do in a play session

Giro Galoppo is a wild horse race where each player controls a rider chasing victory. The game starts with everyone placing obstacles on the track — yes, you can make life harder for your opponents! Each player gets a set of cards with values from 1 to 6, which determine their horse's speed. Every round, everyone plays a card simultaneously: the lowest number (and whoever is furthest behind in case of a tie) moves first. But watch out! If your horse lands on another, you push the poor guy back. And if you hit an obstacle? You lose your turn! The winner is whoever crosses the finish line first or goes the farthest. It's pure fun with a touch of strategy and a pinch of luck — perfect for families and beginners.
