TOUR DE FRANCIA
Spain, 1950s

Hard-to-find Spanish 50s game with fantastic artwork by someone called Lizarraga.

Some years ago I purchased a couple of second hand games and in the box of of one of them there were spare parts from other (unidentified) game. After some investigation, I found that most of the spare parts belonged to an uncomplete copy of Sprint, but I was still left with this:

I was not sure whether all the parts belonged to the same game, but I was quite sure that at least the rules were of a game from the end of the 50s (among other things, they metionned a rider from Louxembourg, which can only be Charly Gaul). The riders looked too small (they are barelu 2 cm), one of the smallest in any cycling game in my collection).
Some years later, the late Geert Lagrou was able to purchase an uncomplete copy of this game. He had the box, the board, a couple of riders, some game money, but no rules. Upon close examination we found out that all my still unidentified spares were part of a Tour de Francia game, and that it might even be his copy, since we did not have a single piece in common (his riders were of different colour than mine, ...)
Still some years later I have been lucky enough to find a board. I still do not have the box or most ofd the game money, and I only have two riders, but I think that is enough to include the game on the site.

The board is flat, but it has a nice 3D effect.

Details of the board:
