Cycling board game

[jopamora]

I was hanging out with at a neighbor’s and saw that they had this board game. Has anyone played it? Bummed to find out they have the 1992 version.

This is one of those ideas that had never occurred to me, ever. I would never have thought there was a Cycling Board Games website either. Wouldn’t it take most of the fun out of cycling: being outdoors, moving along roads and trails, seeing interesting locations, getting exercise, riding fast in a race?

Not only are there bicycle games, but anything voted “Spiel des Jahres” (German for game of the year) has got to be good. Basically, the Germans have redirected all their marshal energies and ambitions into cardboard and boardgames (kind of jokey, kind of serious).

There’s been quite a renaissance in boards games the last 15 years or so, this ain’t your grandfather’s board game: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/442/um-reifenbreite
