Maillot Jaune: Le Jeu de Bernard Hinault (1977)

This cycling game is based upon the Tour de France. The box contains 1 board (46x46 cm²), 6 cyclists, 2 dice, cyclist cards and energy indicators. The game consists of 3 different étappes or stages. Each player controls one cyclist with 3 stars in one specialty, either climbing, descending or riding on a flat terrain. The stars (3, 2 and 1 respectively) determine how fast a cyclist can go on each type of terrain. To speed up, there are two ways to attack, either a risky or normal attack. A risky attack means that the energy of the cyclist will decrease. A cyclist can also follow the slipstream of another player, which will cost the cyclist in front 1 energy point. Winner is the player who gets the best overall result in the 3 stages. The "Maillot Jaune, Le Jeu de Bernard Hinault" version is based upon Tour de France legend Bernard Hinault, five time winner of the Tour.
