Ready Set Bet is a fast-paced party game that combines betting strategy and horse-racing excitement. Players are bettors, wagering on simulated horse races in real-time. The action unfolds as one player, acting as the race announcer, rolls dice to determine the movement of horses. As a result, each race is both unpredictable and thrilling.
The other players strategize where to place their bets, deciding which horse to back for maximum profit. Bets are placed on a shared board, offering multiple options, such as win/place/show, prop bets, and even long-shot bonuses. Afterward, the race concludes with payouts based on the horses’ finishing positions.
The game’s intensity grows as betting spaces fill up, encouraging swift decisions. Not only does this create tension, but it also ensures lively player interaction. As the game progresses over the course of four races, players earn special VIP cards to alter the race or affect opponents’ strategies.
