Options

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. One dedication per box: for different first names, add each box separately.

In the game, the “Best Mind Cycling Manager” trophy goes to the player who has won the most medals. The gift set slips it into the box with the signed game: one parcel to wrap.

What it is

Mind Cycling is a strategy game about road cycling. Each player runs a team of three to six riders, sprinters, rouleurs and climbers, over a stage that crosses the flat, a sprint and a climb before the finish.

There are no dice and no cards. Each rider moves a set number of squares, fixed by his kind and by the section where he starts his turn. With nobody directly in front of him, he rides into the wind and loses a square; in another rider’s wheel, he is sheltered. The right move is never drawn: it is played.

A game lasts 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of riders and the length of the stage chosen by the players. Simple to learn, long to master: the rules take a few minutes to explain, the tactics come with the games. For 2 to 6 players, aged 10 and up.
