If you thought you knew what exhaustion felt like, gear up because Hell of the North is here to push you to the limit! What started as an expansion for the classic Leader 1 has evolved into a fully standalone experience. If you already own the original game, you can use its components, but this version comes ready to race with everything you need.

The gameplay is a thrilling dive into the chaos of one-day classics, inspired by the legendary Paris-Roubaix. The name 'Hell of the North' is no joke: get ready to tackle cobblestone sections that can wreck bikes or cause unexpected crashes. The game features a modular board with forty new tracks spread across twenty hexagonal tiles, ensuring no two races are ever the same.

At its core, the game is all about energy management. Each team features various types of cyclists, each with a base movement that varies depending on their specialty and their current position on the hex tiles. But don't get too comfortable—the base movement is just the beginning. You can choose to spend energy for an extra burst of speed, but timing is everything. The real challenge is knowing when to stay tucked within the peloton to conserve energy and when to launch a daring breakaway to create a gap before the pack catches up. With updated rules and detailed miniatures, Hell of the North is the ultimate cycling simulator for those craving high-stakes competition adrenaline!
