Long Shot: The Dice Game vs. Winner's Circle 

If you are a horse and not into board games, you can directly skip to 1:16

Really love when you review two very similar games like this. People are naturally going to be interested in both. More comparisons please!

I’m not sure how you came to the conclusion that long shot the dice game is a solitary experience. When I show it to people, it becomes a very loud game. People start betting on the same horses and alliances form, there’s power ups that allow you to push horses forward and backward, alliances fight each other, but you’re all betting on so many horses that you’re actually a member of a few alliances. You wait till the right moment to sneakily knock a horse back, people “bribe” each other not to knock back horses. Honestly, long shot the dice game has some of my most loud gameplay, only being surpassed by Sidereal Confluence. It sounds like winners circle is just everyone trying to bribe the dice roller, but long shot actually gives the ability for team work

I have the Alea’s Royal Turf, Face to Face’s Winner’s Circle, and have Long Shot on order :) Can’t wait to try it out! Those playing pieces on your copy of Winner’s circle are amazing!

A most helpful (and entertaining) comparison. Thanks!

I love Winner's Circle because of the reasons you said! How many tries did it take you to roll kinky time at 4:43??

I got kicked out of horse university for horsing around

Great review. I really like Winners Circle because it’s a LOT easier to play but still affords the excitement of a race. Classic Knizia design. Glad I bought it, just need the right player count as you suggested…

9:48 arguably the best NPI goof

This is wonderful to hear, I found an extremely cheap used copy of Circle a couple months ago and have been hoping to convince people to try it. And for some reason it had extra content in it

I love all this horsing around!

Sorry that I got rid of my "Win, Place, & Show" game, all those years ago. Glad to see "Pet Sounds" in the background.

I do like the (always thoughtful) NPI 'omnibus' presentations; comparing & contrasting games.

More games need kinky time results on their dice! XD

I played Longshot on Easter and really enjoyed it. However, and I know this is kind of silly, I really don't understand the theme. Not only can you buy horses, bet on horses, and equip them with jerseys and helmets, but you also run a concession stand? And the horse's movement determines whether you sold a hot dog? The theme is just a little flimsy for me, but regardless it is a very fun game.

Maybe I'm just tired today, but I got completely lost somewhere around the fifth kinky time rugby helmet. 🤣🤣🤣

I hope they reprint winner’s circle. I’ve been trying to get it. I passed on long shot because I already knew I wanted winner’s circle.

Thanks for pointing to that old gem!

Where would one pick up the Japanese edition of Winner's Circle? Having a hard time finding it on BGG Market or Miniature Market

I really like both of these games. Feel the same way about Winners Circle.

That dice evaluation tho. This game could use a good 'kinky time' hack 😉

That green jumper looks really good on you, Efka. Brings out the colour of your eyes.

:-) Kinky Time... saddle up!!!! What am I missing? The box for Winner's Circle seems quite large (for the content it contains)... or is it like The king is Dead?

Will you guys review CMON's Ankh anytime soon? I thought you teased it a while back on twitter and Im curious what your thoughts are

The only horsey-betty game I have is Jockey, one of the editions with the four metal horseys.

I've been getting a lot of mileage out of Camel Up during the pandemic (playing with discord and a webcam). Do either Long Shot or Winner's Circle replace it for anyone?

TLDR: Winners Circle but actually Long Shot

I really like Winner's Circle.

👍👍

Ha! Loved the shot at the TERF. Nicely done.

Lol at Royal TERF.

Religious Secreterianism 😔

Oh I'm not sure what that face is saying in thumbnail but I think not good

.

Bold of you to have a horse-focussed video and not showcase Hundreds of Horses, the best horse-based game available.

Animal exploitation and commodification isn't fun and games like these only normalize and glorify the abuse. Not cool nor kind :/
