This is a horse racing game designed for parties and participants of all ages. For a quick game, choose a horse for a single race. For the full Escalado experience, try to accumulate the most money during a six race meeting. Escalado is just like the thrills and excitement of a real horse race; simply set up the game, turn the handle and cheer the horses down the track.

 

A wonderful highly visual party game; horses race along a track, their movement activated by a special vibrator box which causes the horses to move at random and varying speeds towards the finishing post. A nominated player turns the vibrator box handle in the direction of the indicator arrow as quickly as possible but it helps to decide a close finish if the action is slowed down just as the leading horse's front legs near the finishing post. There may be only a fraction of an inch between first and second. If a horse falls over at one of the obstacles or fences, players should agree prior to the game whether to leave it on the track possibly to interfere with other horses or stop the race, remove the fallen horse and then recommence.
