SETUP:
1) each player starts with 5 chips (or coins, beads, whatever)
2) race board has 4 tracks, #1 to 4, and 10 spaces in length
3) the "pot" which holds the winnings to be given after a race is over, can be a cup, bowl, or just a special place...
4) need only one 6 sided dice numbered 1 thru 6
5) markers or a pawn for each player, player #1 starts on track #1,etc..
6) a special LUCK marker at top of track "+" that effects the racetracks.. good or bad...

RULES: (4 players)
1) to start a new race, each player pays a chip to the pot
2) each player starts their runner on their track#
... start the LUCK marker at the top on track#1
3) roll the one dice...
... if 1 to 4, then that player (matching the dice) advances one
... if 5, then whoever has the LUCK marker on their track advances one
... if 6, then ALL players advance one... EXCEPT: (2 exceptions)
.... Except if you have the LUCK marker on your track (don't move)
.... Except if moving would win you the race (don't move)
4) after each roll, advance the LUCK marker to the next track, eventually looping back to the first track, so it visits each track throughout the race
5) keep going back to 3) ROLL THE DICE untill someone wins the race

Whoever wins the race wins the pot... add the chips from the pot into your own hand...

WINNING:

You win the whole game by getting rid of all of your chips... so after a race is over, and a new race starts, and don't have any more chips to put into the pot, the game is over.

... player order is important as even if 3 players have zero (0) chips, there can only be one winner.... it goes in order, so if players 1, 2, 3 all have zero chips, player #1 wins... you can assign players in order of age, so the younger players win more often :)
