Flamme Rouge
Flamme Rouge is a groundbreaking board game that brings the excitement and strategy of bicycle racing to the table. Each player controls a team of two cyclists, strategically racing towards the finish line marked by the red flag.
Game Background
In cycling, the red flag (flamme rouge) is an important signal that marks the final kilometre of a race. It marks the final stretch, and the competing cyclists must give it their all. The world's best cyclists gather on the outskirts of Paris, hoping to ride under the red flag in search of fame and glory.
Game Overview
In this game, each player controls two types of riders: a Rouleur and a Sprinteur. A Rouleur is a rider who excels at steady riding, while a Sprinteur is a rider who excels at sudden acceleration. The player's goal is to get one of their riders to the finish line first. If multiple riders cross the line in the same round, the rider who is furthest forward wins.
Game Progression
The game is played using numbered energy cards. Players draw a card from their hand to move their player forward by the number on the card. The key is to utilize slipstreams to avoid fatigue and time your sprint for victory.

Game Features
The track tiles are double-sided, allowing for a variety of course configurations, allowing for different races to unfold. Fatigue cards represent the intensity of the race and act as a factor in driving strategic decision-making.
Age and number of players
The game is suitable for ages 10 and up and can be played by 2-4 players. The game takes about 30-45 minutes, making it easy to enjoy. The game is written in English.
The appeal of the game
The game's defining features are its fast-paced and tactical nature. It's not just about drawing cards and moving forward; you have to read other players' moves, take advantage of slipstreams, and sprint at the right time. Fatigue management is also an important factor; if you go too hard in the early stages, you'll lose momentum towards the end.
Overall Review
Flamme Rouge beautifully captures the thrill of cycling, the strategy and tactics that make it a true bike race, and allows you to experience the real thing, from the tension of the race, to the excitement of the final kilometre, to the comebacks at the finish line.
It's a great game to enjoy with family and friends, but it also has depth that will satisfy even the most enthusiastic board game enthusiasts. It's recommended not only for bicycle racing fans, but also for those who enjoy strategy games. While the rules are simple, it's a deep game that offers new discoveries every time you play.
