It's Rodeo time! and it's time for good ole horse ridin' and barrel racin'! But our competitors are an undisciplined bunch and they resorted to partying too much, staying out late, and eating a few too many tins of beans! So now they are unprepared for competition...in fact, they haven't even gotten out of bed yet! Will they be able to race today? Will they be able to finish a race? What Madness is about to unfold?
SaddleSore is a madcap card and race game that involves mad tasks and zany physical challenges. (don't worry, the physical challenges are less physical and more hilarious!)
It's a game of card collecting, tile laying, and simple track building. It was designed for, and is best played by 4 players. The perfect game for a social gathering or party. Everyone will love this zany tabletop card game. Fans of Rodeo style competition and horse riding will especially enjoy the Western theme of the game.
Players take turns drawing cards and laying down tile cards, trying to build a zany race course that must zig zag its way around the Barrels and back home to the Finish. All the while players have to manoeuver their Horse and Rider along the course, trying to be the first to reach the Finish. Randomly, there are Madness roadblocks that task the players with competing various types of crazy stunts and challenges. Some are more physical than others. Some just involve talking. Some even involve singing! All cause laughter! By completing these challenges you can avoid penalties that could slow you down, or earn rewards that could speed you to victory!
SaddleSore is a tabletop game that will put you in a silly mood. And, you'll be busting a gut, as you try to focus on being the first player to the finish line of your own tile track.
Game play is 30 to 90 minutes depending on the number of players and varying game experiences. Remember, you'll need plenty of room - a large tabletop is best.
