About the game
What you do in a play session
You'll need cunning and skill to position your cyclists perfectly. Is it worth risking exhaustion to lead the pack from the start? Or is it smarter to conserve energy in the middle of the group, waiting for the right moment for a surprise attack from behind? The key is to time your moves precisely.
Cyclists' movements are determined by their specific cards, which are played and depleted throughout the race. A key mechanic is the use of slipstreams, which allows trailing cyclists to conserve energy and avoid exhaustion, creating a dynamic 'catch the leader' element on the track. With a modular board that ensures different tracks each game, Flamme Rouge offers a vibrant racing experience full of strategic decisions, where anyone can ride, but only the most cunning become champions.
