Horserace is a drinking game using playing cards that is inspired by horse racing.

They then shuffle the deck and lay out a variable number of cards face-down (these form the "links" of the race) in a straight line perpendicular to the row of aces.

Safeguards are often instituted to prevent players from placing exorbitant bets such as "one hundred on hearts."

The announcer narrates the ebb and flow of the game as the betters cheer on their horse.

[3] Thus in an eight-link horserace, there are eight instances of faltering that can totally change the outcome of the game.

Another variation is Stumble in which all horses except the leader move forward one space if a designated wild card is flipped over, such as the Joker.
