Here is a cute little game made by Sam Robinson in New Zealand. He offers the game as a print-and-play game since his aim is to make every game available to print out at home, as shipping from New Zealand to the world can be a bit challenging. The game is meant to fit in a mint tin, small and lightweight enough to take it with you. I love the idea.

However, I discovered this game so recently that I have not had time to print, assemble, and photograph it. Instead, I have taken a couple of pictures from the creator's website so you can have an idea before downloading the game. It was either that or leaving the game for the spring 2026 update of the site. (I hope you don't mind, Sam). 

The contents of the download are 18 double sided track cards, 18 boost cards, stage cards (including 3 actual stages from each of the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España; you can make the rest of the stages yourselves) and scoring cards. You only will need to provide one die and a few tokens to play the game.

The game is a dice game where each player controls a team of two or three riders. Simple as they are, the rules take into account aspitration, climbs, descents, and even some energy management: there is a feed zone where riders can collect boost cards to be played later. The rules even offer the possibility to play a stage race (with a points classification). Not bad for such short, easy-to-read rules.

 

Of course, none of the rules is amazingly original, though I am not sure I have seen the climbing rule in any other game, or the sprint boost card for that matter. This game will surely not appeal to hardcore gamers who hate dice, but for the rest of us it will be a pleasant little game to play.  I will make my own copy as soon as I find the right tin.
 

Thanks, Xavier, for the tip!
