Product Information

However the track pieces are double sided and the inclusion of hills restrict your movement on particular sections adding an extra layer of tactical card play to the game.

Complicating things a little more are the presence of hills, which can break a race’s pacing wide open. Once everyone has chosen their two cards, they are revealed and the player leading the race goes first, moving their cyclist the number of spaces their card shows.Movement Phase – In this phase the person who is first (if tied the person on the right lane gets the advantage) shows the card that has been selected and moves the rider that number of places. There’s little more to this game than drawing some cards and moving two plastic riders along a track, but the fact it’s so simple—and ties so elegantly into the actual strategies of competitive bike racing—makes Flamme Rouge one of the best racing board games I’ve ever played. Each team has used cunning and skill to position their sprinter for this moment, but only one has done enough to pull off the win!

This card will be placed into your deck and with its low movement value will limit your movement later in the game.The former is designed to chug along at a constant pace, happy to roll with the main pack, while the latter is able to employ massive bursts of speed to race out in front. You then deal out the cards for each team and place them on the appropriate place on each player board. Where possible, your rider should finish their turn in the right-hand lane, marked by a double white line. TIP: Over time your deck will fill up with these cards that only give two movement, try to avoid getting them. Each team of racers (two riders per team) have a deck of cards for each rider and these determine how far you will move each turn.
