## Description
Get ready for a horse race worthy of a gangster movie! In "The Really Nasty Horse Racing Game," it's not just about who crosses the finish line first. Here, cheating runs rampant, and the goal is dirtier than the stable floor. Each player takes control of a horse, moving it around the track with a good old die roll. But don't be fooled, the fun (and the nastiness) begins when you realize you can bet on other horses. Then comes the temptation: is it worth making your own horse run slowly to ensure the victory of the horse you bet on? And to make things worse (or better, depending on your sense of humor), each participant receives cards that allow them to pull off the most diverse dirty tricks: tripping a competitor, forcing a drug test on the winner, or any other scheme that crosses your mind. It's the perfect blend of luck, strategy, and a good dose of cunning for those who enjoy a racing game with a spicy and unpredictable twist. Ideal for those who aren't afraid to tarnish their reputation (and their horse's) to come out on top. This game is pure adrenaline and guaranteed laughs, especially when the most diabolical plans work out!

## FAQ
### What is the minimum recommended age?
Generally recommended for ages 12 and up, due to the interactions and the slightly more "adult" theme of cheating.

### Is the game very complicated to learn?
No, the basic rules are quite simple: roll the die, move the horse. The complexity comes from the "dirty trick" cards and the betting, which are easy to grasp in practice.

### How long does a game typically last?
The estimated playtime is 90 minutes, but it can vary quite a bit depending on the number of players and how "nasty" they decide to be!

### Is this a good game for someone who doesn't like conflict in board games?
It might not be the best choice. The game has a lot of "dirty" interaction and sabotage, which can be frustrating for more sensitive players.

### How many players can participate?
The game is for 2 to 6 players, working well with different numbers, but the chaos increases with more people at the table.

### Is there a lot of luck involved?
Yes, the die rolls for moving the horses are an important factor. However, the cards and betting add a layer of strategy and bluffing that balances the luck somewhat.
