Classiques du Cyclisme

This is a game simulating the famous cycling race "Paris-Roubaix". Each player controls a team of 6 cyclists. Each cyclist has got 6 characteristics (stamina, power,....). At the start of the race, you set their characteristics to a specific profile (total team value 110, no cyclists may have the maximum value of 5 in all characteristics). This way you tailor your team to the chosen strategy - which cyclist is expendable, which one is team leader, which one is the sprinter,.... All movement is directed by playing "strategy cards" (1 or 2 per turn). These are chosen and revealed simultaneously by all players. There are some squares where you have to draw "event cards" which influence the game.
