One of my all-time favorites. Although in purity it is "just another dice game" (as some harcore gamers would say) and, of course, luck takes a big part in it, this one has something special. Starting with the wooden board. (What a pity the cyclists are simple wooden pegs!).

The rules are not that bad either, there is some strategy. Unfortunately (for us non Dutch-speaking), the rules are exclusively in Dutch and only recently I had the time to scan the rules, OCR the scan, Babelfish the OCR'd text and decypher the result. So I have not played much this game, but now I have reasonably comprehensible English rules, in case someone needs them.

Beware, this game is big and heavy. The board consists of 6 wooden panel and measures a total of 90 x 75 cm. You need a big playing table. What's worse. the game weights 3.2 kg. It can be expensive if you have to mail it overseas!

 

A close-up of the only defect of this game: no cyclists...

Professional cycling

Fantastic graphics everywhere
