WMDesktop Derby 6-Horse Racing Game - 10" x 2.5" x 5"

Loved itVery clever toyLots of fun with friends and family

I've brought these to bachelor parties, camping trips and cruises. They are great when you heave few minutes of downtime. Adults can wager a few bucks on the race, make it a drinking game or kids can just pick and play for fun. We've spent HOURS playing this and there really is no "sequence" or way to know which horse is going to win. It is truly random. Even my wife, who doesn't like playing board/card/dice games, will play this and really get into it.After a while, one of the tracks started to not work as it should, so we just take that horse off the track. I bought a 2nd one, so now we have more lanes to bet on for bigger groups. It's such a simple game, but it truly can be a memorable experience with some friends and your own set of rules/wagers.

In a world full of mundane desk accessories, the WM Desktop Derby 6-Horse Racing Game stands out as a beacon of fun and frivolity. With its compact size, easy setup, and endless entertainment value, it's a must-have addition to any desktop or gaming collection. So saddle up, place your bets, and get ready to race your way to victory in the wildest, wackiest horse race this side of the Kentucky Derby!Great gift for horse racing lovers. My 2-year-old loves it as well!

Pretty fun game but kid of loud.I bought it to put on my desk at work for customers to use while I load information. It’s too loud for that but we enjoy it at home.Make sure you put the horses in different lanes each time and they’ll finish differently every time. The same horses in the same lane will win every time. We enjoy it and would be a fun gift.

I saw the original vintage 60s version in an antique shop and was so enamored by it but it was so expensive. Imagine my delight when I did some research and I discovered an affordable reproduction exists!The noise is awful but expected of something meant to replicate an old toy. Old mechanical toys are all obnoxious sounding but is true to the era.Cute decoration piece for the house and for mild amusement for whenever guests are over. I am going to buy another one for my friend’s birthday who adores horses!

I've had this on my wishlist for years, since it was a $5 add-on item, and just never pulled the trigger on buying it. Shame. I watched as the price only ever raised, and once I was certain it was not going to go down, I got it for $17. If it was only $5, all would be fine. It is a $5 toy, selling for $17, and that is a problem.The outer tracks (1&6) are useless, and will lose EVERY time. Either track 3 or 4 will win. Reliably, 50% of the time a horse will fall over during the race. After 1 month, with roughly 10 uses, the gate on track 6 no longer pops up when the horse finishes. There are 2 'black' (really just chiseled away) 'lines' near the end of the track. When the horses hit these, they slow and randomly overcome one another. I imagine this was added to create some end of race excitement, but it does just the opposite. As the horses come to the finish, they come to a halt, and OFTEN just stop on the lines, pushing forward and back but never making it to the finish.This is still in use, as it was purchased to add to a drinking game, but we can only use the center 4 lanes, and it messes up so reliably that we have made rules for when your horse falls over or 'stalls' on the black line at the end. This is a cheap-o game. As I stated originally, if it was still cheap all would be fine. But the price is OUTRAGEOUS considering what you're getting. 3 or 4 times too expensive. NOT WORTH IT!

This is a fun bar game but #4 horse never makes it to the finish line, falls over and blocks #5. Wish I would have known that so I could return it but to much time has passed.

Don’t know what to eat for dinner? Can’t decide on a movie? Not sure what color to paint your toenails? Set up the horses and watch them race to decide your fate for you. My wife and I used to argue constantly but now we let the horses race it out and we couldn’t be happier. Tabletop horse racing saved our marriage.
