AND THEY ARE OFF
HEARTS QUICK OUT THE GATE
A visionary leader with a heart to match
AND SPADES IS SLOW TO BEGIN
No spades flipped means no movement for spades
If your card is flipped from the deck your Queen moves forward one space. Good to have one host calling the event and one person moving the cards.
And the horses have all past the first check point
Flip the card on the right
It seems clubs will be going back a space
And the Race continues
With Clubs maintaining a strong Lead
A close race in the middle.
And it is a two horse race down the stretch
Clubs and Spades have nothing stopping them
Get excited!
And Clubs wins the RACE
Cheer in victory Clubs
Clubs give out your wagers. Other horses will have to take on the wager to themselves. Honesty is only policy here.
