Description
A luck free race game based on cycling. Players control a team of 4 cyclists. For each cyclist the player chooses one of his available movement allowances and moves that many squares. Once all cyclists have moved the expended movement allowances are replaced with new ones calculated according to the cyclist's position in the peloton being at the back of a group brings a high replacement value, being at the front a low one.Sprint points are earned by being among the first 8 to cross the sprint lines so there is always a trade-off between slipstreaming ('drafting') the other riders in order to build up high movement allowances and making a break for the front to be the first to cross the finish line.Note: the standard game comes with 6 teams but additional teams can be ordered to make it an up to 12 player game. The additional colours are orange, pink, purple, brown, silver, and gold. - BoardGameGeek
