Long Hop is a betting/dog racing game. It consists of a large, colourful canvas playing mat, an ordinary deck of 52 cards and 4 cardboard greyhound dogs wearing the card colours heart, spade, diamond and club. The dogs are moved via a clever card drafting/setting system which is also enhanced by special orders depicted on the race track. These are triggered when the dog(s) pass the spaces. Game ends after 6 races, richest player wins.
