Description

Buy horses and participate in horse races, as well as buy shares in the different companies, so you, after all completed races, have the biggest fortune. You have possibilities to make profits on your horses, your companies and the other companies you have interest in.
Every horse has pre-determined number of moving spaces for each turn, which is written on it’s information card.
The winner is the player who has collected most values in money, horses, shares in a syndicate and obligations after 10 races, which are run depending on which type of horses, who are eligible for each race. Each player may only participate with two horses in each race. You may shorten the game by pre-selecting a fewer number of races (5 are recommended).

Was first published under the name Jägersrospelet by Alga in Sweden, in 1941; this may be a completely different game though, as the component mix and game board seem to be very different from later versions of Jägersro.

Jägersro is a famous racing stadium for horses in the city of Malmö.
