Description
Breaking Away is a classic racing game that's all about strategy and skill, with no luck involved. Players take control of a team of cyclists, navigating the challenges of the peloton to be the first to cross the finish line. The game is easy to learn, but with a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, it offers plenty of depth and excitement for 2 to 9 players. As you move your cyclists around the track, you'll need to balance the benefits of slipstreaming behind other riders with the need to make a break for the front and earn sprint points. With its unique movement mechanics and competitive gameplay, Breaking Away is a thrilling experience that's perfect for fans of abstract strategy and sports games. Designed by John Harrington and first published in 1991, this base game has stood the test of time, offering hours of fun and competition for players of all ages.
