Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this board game on a wave of maglia rosa inspired shopping and I have to say I'm quite impressed. The quality of the pieces and the board in particular is very good. The rules are somewhat complicated but relatively realistic to real world cycling tactics. (Better translated and user-improved rules can be found here though I've not road-tested these yet: [...])
The game board is made a many varied road tiles that allow for many configuration of races and the rules booklet includes instructions to recreate the stages from the 2009 Giro (100th anniversary) but any race can be recreated, one-day classics, stage races etc (one of the tiles has a velodrome finish on it!)
Roadies and racing fans will understand the rules more quickly as the concepts of drafting, breaking away, bonking etc will all be familiar, I think people new to cycling will need a little more reading and test-playing to understand the tactical choices. That being said - it's not rocket science and the english translation of the rules is fairly good.
All-in-all a recommended cycling board game and a very interesting game in it's own right.
