Section 6: Scoring
Letter accumulation is the sole scoring mechanic. Each missed replication of a Leader's made shot adds the next letter in the sequence H → O → R → S → E to the missing player's tally. When a player accumulates all five letters and has thus "spelled HORSE," they are eliminated from play.
The game ends when only one player remains without all five letters. That remaining player is the winner.
In games with multiple players, partial letter standings (e.g., "H-O-R" vs "H-O") have no formal scoring meaning beyond elimination order — only being eliminated last counts as the win.
