In the first Nice Games Jam in a few months (and we made it a long one!), your nice hosts explore the history of bicycles to develop a racing board game.

• Our last Nice Games Club episode:Eddies
• Two Wheels Good - Jody Rosen
• Safety Bicycle - Wikipedia

Map book

4-sided dice

Meeple to represent racers

• Choose a map to race on in the map book (only one made right now)
• Choose a starting point and an ending point on the map
• Draw a conditions card from the conditions deck (not made yet! We just used rain, where you have to make a Stability check each time you make a turn)

• Same area through time
• You choose your rider and bike (each with different stats) based on how the map looks
• You spend your resources to get new bikes or upgrade a bike
• We started with penny farthings (bad stats), you can buy better ones later.
• At the start of the race you draw a “condition”, affects the course to make more stability checks
• You also randomly get a start and end place (we just set it as corner to corner for testing)
• Types of stats:

• Speed: how far you can go
• Weight: how heavy your bike is, how hard uphill is and how fast downhill is
• Capacity: how much you can hold on your bike
• Stability: how easy it is to get past stability checks
• Durability: how much failing a stability check affects you
