In between official racing seasons, I like to introduce new racing games to our group.\u00a0 After announcing I planned to host a bicycle racing game, the group expressed a high level of skepticism.\u00a0 The hardened group of wargamers I play with barely tolerate our once a month excursions into racing games.\u00a0 But, bicycle racing…yikes!<\/p>\n
On game night, I setup Flamme Rouge including its Peleton expansion; got odd stares from other folks at the game shop.\u00a0 Are those bicycles?\u00a0 Is that a French game?\u00a0 Are you serious?<\/p>\n
