The game play and contents have varied slightly over the years with the release of different editions since 1938 but the principles remain the same.

2 games in 1 on a double sided playing board. The game the french call Ascot because of its realism as the game develops through both stages of the Sport of Kings.
First there is training, where players have the opportunity to buy stables, lease horses and buy others at auction. Owning a thoroughbred is not enough though, you also need the services of the vet, forage merchant and blacksmith to build a winner. Then there is the race itself. Fortunes are made and lost and the glory is shared by the backers and owners of the winning horses.

The winner of the game can either be the one with the most money at the end of the race or the one with the winning horse. This should be decided at the beginning of the game.

An excellent example of a Waddington’s game that incorporates strategy, luck, excitement and competition. Useful to have longer and shorter game options.
