The wacky racing, betting game genre is a must have in a collection and Longshot has been the best at that. This game actively chose the clean portability of Longshot could be removed to allow for a host of improvements: quicker set up, terrific mini figures, and physical cash to count. They made the right choice in my opinion. It has lots of great aspects to the racing and there's some room for strategy which diminishes with higher player counts. However, it's uniquely great point is that you can centralise the admin to a single player and suddenly the time-to-making-interesting-decisions for board game sceptics is almost nothing. It may just be the perfect gateway game*. *It may also be considered too party gamey to truly be a gateway game.
