About this game
Um Reifenbreite puts you in the team car of a Tour de France squad, four riders deep, chasing stage wins across famous roads. Dice decide your raw speed, but a handful of cards let you finesse the result, and tucking a rider into another cyclist's slipstream can turn a losing position into a late breakaway. Different road surfaces punish careless pacing, so managing your whole team's stamina across a long stage matters as much as any single roll. A quietly clever cycling sim from the golden age of German family games, its title translates to 'by a tire's width,' which is exactly how close these finishes get.
