Linkeballen

A strategic cycling parlor game for 2-4 players, 8 years and above

Will your team win the tour?
Going for the yellow or do you choose for the team? Climbing the hills or pushing it on a flat stage?
Keep in mind you’re not the only one cycling the road… A small steering error, misjudgment or a ‘cycling strategy’ can cause a sensational collision.
Let your cycling team ride as fast as possible and win the bike race!

Introduction
In this parlor game you play within the stages as a cycling team. A team consists of three riders. The basic game can be played with 2 to 4 players. The duration of a one stage game with 4 players is 1 to 1.5 hours.
. The results of your team and players standings are recorded. A Tour consists of several stages, with the fastest rider over several stages wearing the yellow jersey. You decide for how long and which stages you want to play.
The game is played with cards. By placing a card on the table you decide how fast you are moving your riders on the trail. You try taking tactical moves and benefit from wind advantage by letting your opponent do the hard work. Cast or save your good cards to démarrage when you feel that your opponent cannot. In short: “Linkeballen”.

Note:
If you have the additions as well, you can play up to 24 players.
