CARD GAMES

CYCLING-RELATED CARD GAMES

In this section we feature cycling themed card games which do not represent a cycling race. Card games that represent a cycling race like Échappée (Der Ausreisser), First To The Line, Attack The Pack, Rush 15/20, Cycle Table Cartes, La Course, Velonimo, Super Echelon, or even Stap Op are in the main section, as well as Il Campionissimo (which does not look like a card game, but may be considered one). Of course board games which happen to be played on a board made of cards (Giro Binaca, Windschatten, Giro d'Italia card game...), are in the main section too. Even a game like Le Tour de France sur un tapis is on the main section, though it debatable whether should be there.

What's left here is:

(a) "Happy Families" games (aka quartet, "go fish!" or jeu des sept familles).

(b) "Highest Values" games (also called "Top Trumps games") in which cards feature different elements which can be compared by a series of values. These games are very popular in Germany, where they are called "quartett", in a quite misleading manner. In fact, some these games may be played as Happy Families (generally, German ones can)

(c) regular card decks with a cycling theme or related to cycling in some way. I do not count decks in which only the back of the cards is cycling-themed. One has to draw the limit somewhere.

(d) other cycling-related card games
