Ready Set Bet
John D. Clair · AEG · 2022
One player rolls dice for a horse race while everyone else places bets in real-time. The simultaneous betting creates pandemonium as odds shift and horses change position. No turns — just frantic placement and cheering. One of the most energetic game experiences possible.
