With seven of us this week, we decided to start off with a new race game, VeloCity, which I had picked up at the UK Games Expo. As I didn't like the tie break rules, we agreed a variant whereby, for those with two riders across the finish line at the end of the game, the player whose third rider was furthest ahead would break the tie. As it happened, with only eight spots to fill and seven players in the game, we all managed to get one rider across the line with the final space being taken by Mark K, although Nige, Guy and Steve all had a shot at winning.

This game turned out to be much better than it sounded when going through the rules. Getting energy drinks is crucial to be able to draft along with a high moving rider and the further you advance the fewer spaces there are that give you energy. And the group moving option gives the opportunity for some nasty play if someone is short on energy. Good fun.
