Description

Metric Mile is a classic board game that's all about the thrill of the 1 Mile and 1,500 meter race. Designed by Terry Goodchild back in 1986, this game has stood the test of time and remains a favorite among gamers of all kinds, not just sports enthusiasts. What makes it so special is the way it lets you pit runners from different eras against each other, so you can imagine the likes of Jack Lovelock and Sidney Wooderson going head-to-head with Coe and Ovett. The game's easy-to-learn rules and simulation mechanics make for a fun and realistic experience that's hard to put down. With support for 1 to 10 players, Metric Mile is just as enjoyable solo as it is with a big group of friends. The game's components, including track sections, charts, and runner cards, all work together to create an immersive experience that's full of on-the-fly decisions and suspense. As the game designer himself notes, the game system is quick and easy to understand, but difficult to master, making for a challenging and rewarding experience. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun and competitive game to play with friends, Metric Mile is definitely worth checking out. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its timeless appeal, and it's a great choice for anyone looking for a classic board game experience.
