## Description
Imagine a frantic cycling race, but instead of human athletes, we have hyper-competitive animals fighting for the mountain top. In Velonimo, the goal is simple yet addictive: you need to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible to cross the finish line first and claim the legendary 'petits pois-carottes' jersey.

The game unfolds over five rounds, each representing the ascent of a different peak. The dynamic is based on 'climbing', meaning you must play cards of a higher value than those already on the table. You can play cards individually or in specific combinations of the same color or value to outpace your opponents. To give yourself an extra boost, there are breakaway specialist cards that help you shoot ahead of the pack.

The charm of Velonimo lies in the balance between simple rules and strategic tension. Do you play now to get rid of your hand quickly, or do you wait for the perfect moment to block your opponent? Even if you don't win the round, you can still score points based on your final position. After the fifth mountain, the player with the highest total score wins the jersey and eternal glory. It's the perfect game for those who want something fast, clever, and that doesn't require reading a 40-page manual to start the fun.
