Spokes

Spokes is a fast paced cycling game for 1-6 players. Players create cycle paths by swapping spokes from their wheels for those on the board. As players create routes their spokes and options change along with everyone's routes, resulting in fast and beautiful dynamic play. Each turn players select a spoke on their wheel to swap for one on the track, and then travel down a contiguously coloured track containing the spoke they placed. As the game continues players build, share and dismantle routes, managing the selection of spokes at their disposal with efficient cycling the best routes. Players can draft other bikes as well, and use the reserved energy to pull out ahead at opportune moments. This helps to recreate the excitement and theme of cycling, with the best players knowing when to sit behind other players, use their routes, and overtake at the last minute for the win! The game is played over three laps, with routes evolving throughout.
