What were you introduced to recently, would you play it again, and what is a sentence that sums the game up?

I tried Flamme Rouge for the first time. It was in a 4P, all others were playing their first game as well.

It is a ~1930s European bicycle racing game, where you simultaneously reveal a distance card for each of your 2 riders, and can then slipstream up to other riders who are 1 space ahead. Good theme, fun game-mechanic and nail biting finishes.

I would definitely play this again.

I love this game. It's so intuitive and well executed

I agree.

It captured the jostling for position, and timing-choice to start the final-sprint very well.
