About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of Flamme Rouge and enjoy the thrill of bicycle races on the board, get ready for another dose of adrenaline! This small package, part of the 2017 Board Game Advent Calendar (yes, that special year-end one!), adds an extra spice to your games. It's not a standalone game, but rather a treat for those who already own the base game and want to expand their options.
With this kit, you'll add new cards to your deck, meaning fresh tactical and strategic choices for your cyclists. The core mechanic of Flamme Rouge, which involves managing your hand of cards to move your riders along the track, gains new nuances. Each card played represents a move forward, but you need to think not only about the present but also about the future, planning your next moves to avoid falling behind or expending all your energy at once.
The beauty of Flamme Rouge, and its small additions like this one, lies in the simplicity of its rules combined with strategic depth. You'll want to anticipate your opponents' moves, use slipstreaming to your advantage, and choose the right moment to accelerate. This promotional pack, though modest in size, is a great find for those seeking more variety and challenges within the Flamme Rouge universe. It's an expansion that fits perfectly, maintaining the intense and engaging racing experience that made the main game famous. Perfect for those who want to give their competitions an extra boost!
Remember, as this is an expansion, you NEED to have the base game Flamme Rouge to play. It doesn't work on its own, but it's a great addition for anyone looking to diversify their tracks and tactics.
