Road to Arrivée

Arrivée is not a newcomer to the world of board games. It has come a long way since the first edition in 2008 - then known as "Téte de la Course". Even then, the game delighted lovers of cycling stage races, although it was created as a prototype with huge game boards and was packed in a long tube, not in a box. 

The ongoing development of the game brought other innovations such as new mechanics, new game rules and a brand new look of the game with a new trademark - Arrivée. It was officially released in 2011 and sold not only in its country of origin (in the Czech republic), but also in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and even in the US.

The game also performed well at the world's largest board game fair in Essen, where it gained a lot of valuable experience and new fans all over Europe. It still holds a 7.7 / 10 rating on the world-famous board game server boardgamegeek.com. Arrivée has found its place in the world of board games and has thus become a well-known Czech board game.

    

Enjoy any cycling race

Whatever you can imagine in road cycling races is possible in Arrivée. Dramatic fights for the most valuable jerseys in the biggest cycling races such as Tour de France, Giro d'Italia or La Vuelta.

It is all about time. Literally!

You don't need a stopwatch, the game has it's perfect time measuring mechanism.

Are you a born climber or rather the fastest sprinter?

Build your perfect team that will lead you to the desired goal. Do you want to be the first to cross the finish line in a mass sprint or reach the top of the highest mountain in front of everyone else? Whatever suits you, if you want to succeed, you will need the whole team. Choose the right strategy and win the race!

    

Bad weather can't stop you

The worst thing for your strategy is heavy rain and strong headwind. But even that belongs to cycling and as a professional you have to deal with it. Include variable weather in your plans, don't be surprised and use it as your advantage.
