Description

Yellow Jersey is a cycling race for 2-4 players. Starting in Paris, you move your team of three cyclists around France through a series of race stages by choosing (a variable number of) movement tokens from your stack, with the token being numbered 1-6. Each round the player holding the Yellow Jersey moves first. You will need to plan how to move your bikes so that you retain maximum movement and take advantage of opportunities to slipstream. Crashes, uphill slopes, and the outside lane will slow you down, whereas downhill slopes and the inside lane may work in your favor.

The race can be conducted either way around the circuit and the first player to get one cyclist back to Paris wins. (The game includes a team winning variant.)
