GIRO D'ITALIA
A. Ollier - Ch. Leclercq, Ghenos Games, France, 2009

 

A reprint of Leader1 for the Italian market. The rules are basically the same, but now we have rules for a time trial stages (both individual and team time trial), and a set of "special cards" which are distributed at random between the riders, are played only once per stage and then discarded.

Of course, detailed plans for reconstructing evewry stage of a full Giro d'Italia are provided. However, at ca. 45 minuts per stage, this may be too ambitious.

The rules are in four languages (instead of the six featured in the original Leader1)

 

 

 

 

Ghenos simiultaneously released a "card game" version. It is not the same game, though many elements are common.
