Overview

Derby is a competitive card game that puts players in the role of horse race gamblers. Everyone will try to maximize their profits through clever handling of the information they have: their cards. These are used to determine the value of bets and, during the race, for the different horses to advance in their lanes. The objective of the game is to be the bettor with the most victory points after all the races. You bet on a horse, secretly, and do what you can to get it in the position that gives you the most points. You score points in each race by taking the prizes from the common chip pool and also your private bet card if you bet on the winning horse. The player with the most points at the end of the 5 races is the winner.
