DEVIL TAKES THE HINDMOST
Terry Goodchild / Fiendish Games, UK
1991.

One of the most exciting cycling games! Even though the presentation sucks, using standard poker cards to move cheap cardboard cycles on an ugly plastificated board, the game is thrilling! (There is a car-race version, "Formel Fun", with a much better presentation, but I think the mechanics of the game are much better suited to cycling).
According to Lambourne Games: "Based on the famous track cycle race, players control a team of cyclists and move them round a numbered track by playing cards. At the end of each lap one cyclist gets eliminated, the field regroups and races again until only one cyclist remains. The skill of the game is in building a hand that enables you to play the right card on the right numbered square. Lots of tactics involved, easy to play - but hard to play well." I agree with every word.
