Board Game Top 100 (2024) Part 17 (64-63)

#64 Flamme Rouge

Flamme Rouge is about a bicycle race. Players have 2 cyclists to move around a track. Cards determine how fast you can go, but you have to pace yourself because the cyclist in the lead gains fatigue. Fatigue goes into your deck and will hinder you with low value cards towards the end of the race. This is actually really thematic. You also have rules for drafting in the wake of cyclists in front of you and for going up and down hills. The mechanisms are simple, but complete making for an awesome racing game, and my 64th favorite game of all time. 

 

#63 Marvel United 

Players take the roles of their favorite characters from Marvel Comics and work together to defeat some of Marvel's most famous villains. I've written about Marvel United many times in the past. So, I'm not going to go into the game again here. (Plus, we are on our way west to visit family and friends for a vacation and I'm writing this post on my phone while riding in the car.) Suffice to say, that I love this game and I probably have any character that you can think of. Marvel United is my 63rd favorite game of all time.
