## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to don your jockey hat and chase those blue ribbons? In 'Horse Show', we step into the shoes of horse breeders and trainers aiming to dominate the show circuit. The goal is straightforward: collect the most blue ribbons, our victory trophies, across four major events (shows). 

Each player assembles a team of 5 cards, a mix of horses and equipment, to bring to the arena. With each event, the tension mounts: everyone simultaneously reveals which horse they're entering into competition. The highest total wins that event's blue ribbon. But pay close attention, because strategy is key: the horses that don't win get to return to their stable, ready for the next contest. The winning horses, however, are out for the rest of the game. It's a race against time and opponents, where every decision about which card to play and when to save a horse can mean the difference between glory and defeat. With easy-to-learn rules and quick games, 'Horse Show' is a great choice for those who enjoy a light card game with an animal theme and a competitive edge.
