The most tactical and fastest race of your life
In Flamme Rouge, you're not just a cyclist: you're the brains and heart of a team racing toward the finish line. Two riders, a Rouleur and a Sprinteur, must be managed with cunning and composure. Each card represents a crucial choice : push now to gain an advantage or conserve energy for the final sprint?
The rules are simple, but the tension builds with each turn. The peloton moves as a single organism, exploiting slipstreams and resistance. Those in the lead risk burning out, while those left behind hope for the right moment to launch a final attack . A sprint can change everything: in this race, simply pedaling isn't enough; you need to read the tables.
Why "Flamme Rouge" isn't just a racing game
- 🚴 Two runners to balance : endurance and sprint, brain and legs
- ⚡ Immediate rules , but always tense and significant decisions
- 🌪️ Slipstream effect that makes every curve unpredictable
- 👨👩👧👦 Perfect for families and friends , fast and adrenaline-filled
- 🏁 Epic finals that are decided down to the last metre
Flamme Rouge is a cycling board game that turns every game into an exciting race. If you love accessible games packed with twists and turns, this is the game you've been waiting for.
Victory belongs to those who know how to resist… and take action at the right moment.

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
– Objective : Each player controls two cyclists, the Rouleur and the Sprinteur . The first player to cross the finish line is the winner.
– Deck Management : Each cyclist has their own deck of movement cards. Each turn, you draw four cards, choose one to play to move the rider, and discard the rest. Played cards don't go back into the deck, so each choice reduces your future options.
– Slipstream and positioning : after the movements, cyclists who finish one space behind the group in front benefit from the slipstream and advance a further space, saving energy.
– Fatigue : Runners who remain in the lead with no one ahead must add Fatigue cards (low value) to their deck, making it more difficult to maintain high speeds later.
– Victory : The race continues until one or more cyclists cross the finish line. In that round, the one who has crossed the line the furthest wins, with matches often decided by a perfect final sprint.

A race is just a race… until YOU cross the finish line first.
Pedal, breathe, calculate… and then sprint: this is the race of a lifetime.
Flamme Rouge – A heart-pounding sprint finish (and no helmet)
Everyone knows it: the last corner is the one that decides glory . You're in the slipstream, you're calculating every meter, the crowd is roaring, and you just have to choose: take the leap now or wait for the perfect moment.
In Flamme Rouge you don't control one cyclist... but two , and running fast isn't enough: you need pure tactics, breath management and a pinch of bluffing .
You feel the tension building with each turn. Every card played is a drop of energy spent, every wrong move a blow to the heart.
He who gives up too soon burns out, he who waits too long gets stuck. And while everyone else is pushing, you prepare the master stroke .
Because it's not enough to just pedal: you need to win well.
A sports board game that pushes hard on fun
Flamme Rouge is a fast-paced and engaging family board game for 2-4 players, perfect for those who enjoy light but deep strategy . Each player leads two cyclists— Sprinteur and Rouleur —in a breathless race, using movement cards and exploiting their opponents' slipstreams to conserve energy.
Simple to learn, yet surprisingly deep , this title combines tactical planning, deck management, and escalating tension . A thrilling sports game, ideal for evenings with friends or for introducing new players to the world of board games.

Legs or head? Strategy makes the sprint.
