Questions
What people ask us most, at festivals and by e-mail. If yours is not here, write to us.
Playing
What people want to know before their first game.
Can you play with two? With six?
Yes: 2 to 6 players with the box, each with a team of three to six riders. Online, 1 to 6.
For a first game: 3 or 4 players and the long course. That is the set-up players recommend.
How long is a game?
on the box11 min
online, on averageFrom 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the course, the number of players and the number of riders per team. The rulebook suggests several courses. Online, a game lasts 11 minutes on average.
A short game uses three riders per team, a long one six, over the whole course.
Do the rules take long to learn?
No. All the movement fits on the memo card: how many squares each rider moves in each section, the wind, the bottle, the wheel, the relay and the attack.
Philippe, the author, explains the game on video, on the board: a quarter of an hour, and you can play.
How does the wind work?
In the base version it always comes head-on. A rider with nobody right in front of him takes the wind and loses one square that turn: a wind token goes in front of him as a reminder. On another rider’s wheel, he is sheltered.
In the box, 21 wind tokens: 20 small ones, and a large one that sets the wind direction in the expert version.
Is there a solo mode?
Online, yes, on Board Game Arena. For the box, the author has written solo rules, which you can download from the rules page.
Solo, there are no medals: the aim is to get four riders of your team across the finish line in as few turns as possible.
Giving
For someone who watches the races, rides on Sundays, or both.
From what age?
From 10. Simple to learn, long to master: the rules take a few minutes, the tactics come with the games.
And as there are no dice and no cards, when a player wins, it is because they played better.
How is it different from other cycling games?
No dice and no cards to draw: nothing is left to chance, everything comes down to your choices. Six teams in the box, plus a seventh, white one, in your own colours. And it can also be played free online, on Board Game Arena.
Each rider moves a number of squares set by the section: the sprinter is worth 5 on the flat and 7 in the sprint.
Are the rules in several languages?
French
English
Dutch
German
Spanish
Italian
Danish
Portuguese
Yes. The booklet comes in eight languages: French, English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Danish and Portuguese.
The booklet as a PDF, in the eight languages of the box.

What is in the gift set?
The game, signed by the author, and the “Best Mind Cycling Manager” trophy, in the same box: one parcel to wrap. In the game, this trophy goes to the player who has won the most medals.
Ordering
On this site, you order directly from the author.
Can the game come signed?
Yes, and the dedication is free. Ordered on this site, the game can arrive signed by Philippe Scheinok, its author, to the first name of your choice: tick the option in the shop and write the name.
To write the dedication, Philippe opens the box’s plastic film. A dedication to a first name makes the copy personalised: it can then no longer be returned under the right of withdrawal.
How can I pay?
