Lautapelit LAU00077 Flamme Rouge Peloton Exp Board Game

Product Information

Now living out of a hut built from expansion boxes, he has been fighting his way up the long road to recovery by discovering all the amazing board games that don't need miniatures. Once again, these new tiles add a little strategy as you think about how to enter and leave the supply zones to maximize the benefit. The setup and race maintenance for either team is incredibly easy and doesn’t interrupt the excitement of the race.

It's one of the more ironic names for this bicycle race expansion, since some of the core improvements are about breaking from the pack.

In addition, there are 9 new track tiles and special cards that let you play with two different types of Dummy teams (AI riders). Worse, or better if you’re doing it right, racers who find themselves with a single space between them and the rider in front after all the movement is resolved get a free move, closing the gap with the help of the slipstream.

While on the face of things a race game, Flamme Rouge is not simply about going fastest, it’s about timing, positioning, and managing your energy. Even while justifying it in my mind as a balancing mechanism when playing with new players, no one wants to start at a perceived (or real) disadvantage. The Peloton expansion adds a generous collection of new elements without overwhelming the game, a genuinely impressive achievement.

The Postal service will also send you a notification slip when your parcel is ready for pick-up, but years of experience makes us recommend you not to solely rely on this. However, if you win the bid you have to discard your cards from the game and replace them with exhaustion cards. Their presence on the track affects you for entire turns running towards them, trying to judge how to position yourself going into them.

I say “probably should go without saying” because anyone who has ever downloaded a level for Super Mario Maker knows: Difficult doesn't always equal fun, people.

It’s a lot of strategy without a bunch of complicated rules, and the simple variance in the track width shows off the versatility of the system. I love the additional riders, and the new track features add new strategies and tactics to think about. I should also mention that with the clever AI riders (they are not dumb and will often beat me) you can now play this game solo. Also if you look at that gamefound, it's easy to be deceived---the actual gameplay portions are not cheap but aren't over the top expensive.Since the card selection phase happens simultaneously, adding one or two additional players only adds a speed-bump of extra moments to a game that already has an exceptionally modest playtime. The Flamme Rouge: Peloton expansion adds pink and white as new player colors and expands the player count to six players (or twelve players if you choose to only play as one of the two racers per team). If your problem goes in the opposite direction and you have too many players around, Flamme Rouge now supports up to 12 players with a single-cyclist variant.
