IL GIRO D'ITALIA BIG JIM
Mattel, Italy, 1980s

 

Big Jim is so strong he even takes part in the Giro! (This is how the rules of this game start). Leaving Big Jim aside, this is a nice game with two big two-sided boards, which makes 4 different tracks: 2 mountain stages, one time-trial (enĄding in a stadium) and a long flat stage (4th picture: notice the incredible design of that one: try to follow it!)

 

  

    

 

A closer wiew. You don't see it from this angle but the dice are not regular ones. One of the has numbers 112234 and the other is 111FCS (F for Foratura -puncture-, C for Cotta -fatigue-, and S for Scatto -energy-).

 

  

 

Though the rules are not complicated (nor specially interesting) this game features a "professional" table (which I wouldn't dare to use).
