A greyhound racing and betting game.
It consists of 46 cards:
6 cards showing traps
8x greyhound No.1
8x No.2
7x No.3
6x No.4
5x No.5
5x No.6
1x disqualified
Game itself is fairly simple: The traps are laid out one above the other, bets are placed on them.
The stack is shuffled well, and one card after another is turned up slowly and laid out along its trap card. Winner is the dog which has 5 turned up cards along its trap.
As there are different number of cards for each dog the odds are fixed accordingly, so that you can make the most money with dogs no.5 and 6.
If the "Disqualified" card turns up it is laid above the trap cards: If a dog has 5 cards counting for it this one is disqualified; winner is the next in line.
