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. This is a very generous expansion as it provides the ability to now play with up to 6 players therefore there are two more player boards, 4 more riders, and all of the cards required. There are supply zone tiles and a bonus tile which provide a minimum speed of 4 and still allow for slipstreaming. Flamme Rouge - Peloton, the first expansion for Flamme Rouge, offers a chase group of four riders (pink and white rouleurs and sprinters) that allows the base game to be played with up to six players.

Arguably, it’s worse to get stuck at the rear of the pack in these larger games; on the other hand, I’ve seen people gain 3 or 4 spaces via slipstreaming more frequently, so there you have it. Yes, that would be quite crowded on a normal track, so you’ll be pleased to hear that the new track tiles have sides with 3 spaces per square, allowing more cyclists to fit in a tight pack.

This forms a bottleneck that really forces you to think about your strategy leading up to and through these tiles. Two new teams of cyclists (pink and white rouleurs and sprinters) also join the race, enabling the game to be played with up to 6 players. Parcels will usually be despatched on the next working day - Tuesday to Friday - after payment has been accepted and availability confirmed. This is a very direct sequel to the first scenario, featuring many of the same cards, and another Villain drawn from the. Flamme Rouge is a fast-paced, tactical bicycle racing game where each player controls a team of two riders: a Rouleur and a Sprinteur.

This is an exciting prospect both for the breakaway riders wondering whether they’ll make it, and for the main Peloton behind them attempting to chase them down across the entire race. The “Peloton” team runs off a single deck, meaning the two riders always move the same number of spaces, with two exceptions: two special cards are added that drive the rear-most Peloton rider 9 spaces forward, and the front-most rider 2 spaces.

However, if you win the bid you have to discard your cards from the game and replace them with exhaustion cards.Only two decks of movement cards stand between you and glory… well, plus the other racers and a couple of mountains, but who’s counting hey? The only problem being is that riders will start the race without the cards used to win the bid and they will also receive two exhaustion cards before the race begins.
