This is your ticket to the track!

In Long Shot: The Dice Game, you and up to seven other players will strategize and push your luck as the action unfolds in a tense race of eight horses. During the game you buy horses, place bets, influence race movement, and utilize special abilities. The roll of the dice determines which horses move and the options available each turn, so be ready to adapt your plans. Once three horses cross the finish line, earnings are totaled. While there are many ways to earn money during a horse race, only the player that makes the most money will be declared the winner. Will you play it safe, or risk it big on a long shot?

Better with expansions.

Long Shot: The Dice Game

Unique Roll&Write

Unlike other roll & write games, Long Shot the Dice game is no multiplayer solitaire. Instead, it's a game full of interaction and tension with the emotional swings found in the race track.

Fun in a box !

All the excitement of horse racing nicely fit together in a small box. Fantastic components, many choices to be made each and every turn, lots of different horses and strategies. Plus many stand up moments as your horse nears the finish line. Totally recommend this game.

Brilliant introduction to deck building

My 6-year-old daughter loved this game. She's requested it 4 times since we first played it last night. The first words out of her mouth this morning were "Daddy, can we play the spaceship game again?"
Everything is so streamlined and easy to understand for kids. There is no text on the cards, just symbols. Everything is really clear (either get a coin, do a damage, heal some damage, or draw a card). Immediately my daughter understood the idea of buying cards from the same "team" so that they would work together. She plans ahead and buys cards that she needs to build up on her strategy. The art is cute and appealing. There is so much to love about this simple, relatively inexpensive game.
When I introduced this game, I explained that it is called a Deck building game because we build up our decks with more powerful cards, and I pointed out that there are lots of OTHER deck building games we can try later, ones with superheroes (Marvel Legendary), Star Wars (SW Deckbuilding Game), and Lord of the Rings (LOTR Deckbuilding Game). Halfway through our first game, my daughter said "I love this game. I think this might be my new favourite kind of game." I'm certainly looking forward to exploring more deck building games with her soon, but for now this is providing us with everything we need to consistently have a great time.
