About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a crazy race in "Run, Mule, Run!", where four colorful mules—Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green—are competing for the trophy! But hold on, you don't control a specific mule. Instead, the game is all about betting on the champions: you'll have secret cards with bets on who will finish in 1st and 2nd place. The race is driven by a chain-reaction movement system that's pure fun. On your turn, you move any mule one space. Where it lands dictates the next step! If a mule lands on a space with a colored arrow, the mule of the corresponding color must immediately move in the indicated direction. This can trigger an avalanche of movements, propelling mules forward or diverting them sideways! It's a fast-paced game full of twists where you need to be clever to boost the mules you bet on while hindering your opponents' plans. As soon as the second mule crosses the finish line, the game ends instantly. Then it's time to reveal your cards and see who made the winning bets to score points. Perfect for those who enjoy quick games with a touch of luck and plenty of interaction!
