TOUR DE PISTE
3 Jours, France, 2003

 

 

 

Track-cycling game from France. It was hard to find from a while, but a lot of copies have appeared recently. It can be bought quite cheaply now, and maybe it's not a bad idea to get a copy. Even if you do not like the game, you can use the parts to make your own game.

Beware: some of the boxes, even under blister, are missing a team (generally, but not always, the red one).  Thanks to Pierre and Bilou for finding the missing team for me.

It is interesting to remark that this game received an award at the prestigious "Concours Épine", just as the classic track cycling game "Le jeu du Veldiv" had 71 years before.

 

 

The board is quite big (82 x 54 cm)

 

 

As is the case with most track cycling games, you can play different races.  In this case there are rules for 8 different races. We have Le Tour de Piste, Le Kilomètre, Le Record de L'Heure, La Poursuite Individuelle, La Poursuite par Équipe, Le Keirin, La Vitesse Individuelle and L'Élimination. Most of the rules are very simple, though.
