Very bad news: Our friend GEERT LAGROU was killed in a car accident on August, 31st. He was a great cycling games collector, a great games' player and a great man. Rest in peace. http://www.spelenopzolder.be/
August 2007
Yes, I am the happy owner of a copy of McLoughlin Brother's 1891 "Game of Bicycle Race"!!! Unfortunately it is in quite rough shape, but I guess that is why I could afford it.
I have also received Michel Blanchet's book "Tour de France. Jeux et jouets du cyclisme" (Editoys, 2007). I am very sorry to say that the book is flooded with mistakes and imprecisions. Very poorly researched. A shame, coming for someone who claims to be "Docteur en Histoire". However, provided that you do not assume any piece of data from the book to be true, it is a nice little objet to have, and of course a must for collectors.
The COMBINATION BOXES page has been finally reorganized.

I have also added an unpublished game:
KEIRIN. It's the first game on the
subject (as far as I know), and it's a one-player game with no strategy at all.
You just watch the race. Some will hate it ;-)
Make Your Own Cycling Game, new section!!!
February 2007
I have received some old (mainly eastern) German games (thanks Siegfried!) which will soon be added to the website: Die Friedensfahrt, Bahn-Radrennen, Sechs-Tage-Rennen, La Course de la Paix (this one from Czechoslovaquia), Die Giganten der Strasse/Les géants de la route. I have also a new version of Sebastiano Craveri's Giro D'Italia (aka Giro Binaca), another Tour de Suisse (this one from Knorr) and the italian oldie Coppa Santagostino. So far.
More games received: Paris-Brest-Paris: Le grand jeu du Cyclotourisme (thanks Pascal!), Post Danmark Rund Spillet (I guess you never heard of that one before), and three oldies: another version of Die-Rad-Wettfahrt, an uncomplete version of Milton Bradley 1910's "Game of Bicycle Race" (just the board and the top of the box), and an unexpectedly small version of JW Spears and Sons' "A Cycling Tour" (aka "The Game of Cycling", supposed to be a 1890's game, though I am afraid my copy is not the first edition).
