In the race game Donkey Derby, each player moves each of the five donkeys. Players bet on the future winner. If you make the right bet early, you'll get many victory points in the end. Bet later, and you can better estimate the finish and get points more safely. But the die plays a role as well: Should I advance my favorite with the "3" I've rolled, or should I try to roll a higher number? If my luck with the die doesn't meet my calculations, the malicious joy of the other players is guaranteed. When the first three donkeys have crossed the finish line, the player with the most points wins.
