RONDE VAN FRANKRIJK
C. De Ruiter, Nethrlands, 1984

Dutch game which is just an ampliation and modernisation of Table Tour. A bigger board and a different set of chance cards do not really make a new game. I prefer the old version: it has a nicer board, nicer cards, and cyclist-shaped figurines.

 

Nevertheless, Ronde van Frankrijk is an ampliation of Table Tour. It is more ambitious in concept. For instance (not featured in the pictures, sorry), this game presents a really big score sheet, where you can keep track of all kind of classifications.

The "Premie" and "Pech" cards are separed in two different sets. That's better that Table Tour, of course. But the playing cards lack the charm of its predecessor.

 

But no cyclist shaped riders! I mist admit, though, that these are stable and that the number can be read well, which is not often the case.
