Welcome to The Really Nasty Horse Racing Game--the game designed to stimulate your worst instincts and get you to use cunning and deviousness to your best advantage.The game comes complete with all pieces needed to play--horses and jockeys, lane cards, Really Nasty cards, a riderless horse to create more havoc and the usual dice, pencil and money. The object of the game is to win the most money at the race meeting and this can be done in one of two ways. Firstly, by getting your horse placed first, second or third in the race and secondly, by placing bets on winning horses.
So, how does the game go? Each player gets a number of Really Nasty cards, £20,000 cash and of course, the betting slip. The game lasts for a race meeting of six races. Each player gets six horses, one for each race. The horses are graded 1 to 6--1 being the best horse and 6 being the worst horse. Before racing starts each owner has to decide which race each horse will run. There are other matters too, such as working out the betting odds, and lots of shady dealings will likely ensue.
The elected bookmaker controls the game--lane placings are drawn before each race, and the horse that draws the inside lane starts. Movement is decided by a throw of the dice--one length forward for one, two lengths for two and so on. There are rules that control the manner of racing as well, such as changing lanes, cornering and blocking, plus the special Early Pace, Quicken Up and Finish Well sections that give extra momentum for your horse. There is also a set of mischief cards to help you create havoc with the other horses and riders in the race.
This game really is brilliant--it lets you bow to your worst instincts without any apologies. Great fun for get togethers. --Ben King

If you're old enough to remember Derek Beatty, but young enough to still have your own teeth, Mr & Mrs is definitely a game for you.Based on the immensely popular 70s TV show, the game is sure-fire way to bring toil and trouble to otherwise calm relationships.
The concept is as simple as its on-screen counterpart: one partner is asked questions about the other, and both must agree to score points. "How often does your partner weigh themselves?" will strike fear into many men's hearts, and "At what age did he start shaving?" is a question many women may not be able to answer accurately. Some questions are divided in "man" and "woman", while others are suitable for all. Depending on the number of players, the host is either an individual or a team, and "partners" do not have to be the same gender, or even a partnership in the traditional sense: mothers and daughters can play sisters and brothers, and so on. The key, however, is that you know your partner well enough to engage in an honest appraisal of their character and habits. The first partner to be asked writes down their answer, and these are compared to the second partner's answers to see if points are scored. All points are kept centrally by the host(s).
Simple, fun and often controversial, this game is guaranteed to bring chaos to any tranquil household, the like of which has probably not been since the game "Scruples" was so popular in the early 90s. --Susan Naylor

Ask the audience what they think of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and the answer certainly won't be 50-50. They'll love it.Players take turns to act as question master while the others try to win more and more money by answering fun questions. Players use their own handheld display modules containing the questions and the object of the game is to be the first player to win a million pounds, or to be the wealthiest player after a pre-determined number of rounds.
As on television, if a player gets stuck for an answer, lifelines can be used--"50-50" (the question master deletes two incorrect answers and the player chooses one from the remainder); "Ask the Audience" (other players show what they think the answer is--hopefully); and, of course, you can still "Phone a Friend" (telephone not included!)
Players might not ever get rich playing this board game but they can experience all the tension and excitement of being either the question master or a participant in this very popular game. --Susan Naylor

Ask the audience what they think of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Junior, and the answer certainly won't be 50-50. They'll love it.This is the Junior version of the hit television game show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? It's aimed at 8 to 12 year olds and is suitable for 2-5 players.
Players take turns to act as question master while the others try to win more and more money by answering fun questions. Players use their own hand-held display modules containing the questions and the object of the game is to be the first player to win a million pounds, or to be the wealthiest player after a pre-determined number of rounds.

(telephone not included)
This is a perfect introduction to the adult version and it creates an opportunity for younger players to experience the tension and excitement of being either the question master or a participant in this very popular game. The question cards are pitched at a good level for this age group, and they can be used with those from the adult edition if desired. Great fun for pre-teens who want to have a go at the game, but would find the adult edition too difficult. --Susan Naylor
Contents: 600 cards (580 question/answers cards, and 20 Ask the Audience/Phone a Friend cards), 5 Question and Answer Display Modules; money; 15 Lifeline tokens and an excellent rules of play sheet which is thorough and easy to follow.

Ask the audience what they think of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire? II" and the answer certainly won't be 50-50: they'll love it.Based on the hit TV show that has pulled record audience figures around the world, the game is much as it is onscreen: you must answer increasingly difficult general knowledge questions in sequence, without getting any wrong, to win larger and larger amounts of money (in this case, fictional cash!). You have three lifelines, 50-50, Ask the Audience and even Phone A Friend, but once they're gone you're on your own. The questions in this new version have been updated, so even addicted players of the first edition will have plenty to go at.
Cards replace Chris Tarrant and a board replaces the TV studio, but otherwise the atmosphere can be every bit as electric as the real thing. So go on, give it a try. You may just be the next paper Millionaire! --Sophie Lowe
Each of these games contains a "golden ticket", giving the holder a chance to win a visit to the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" studio to meet Chris Tarrant and play the game for real.
