A short version of the Leader 2 rules - in german

Revised version of player aid posted in leader one by Aaron Cinzori (WonderCinz) The main difference is Peloton control disruption and Peloton can move up to 7 spaces if empty. Special abilities were left off to accommodate extra peloton rules. Two items were omitted in aid and one not mentioned. Not mentioned, when riders ride through other riders it cost them one energy to do so, also they must pay any penalties that that space has. For game play purposes we left out the 1 energy cost for being outside and ahead of the peloton as it was cumbersome to deal with and no one liked it here. Also left out was the extra 1 energy cost for canceling jumping from peloton, we felt penalty was to high as you still had to pay peloton movement costs.

Yes, you read correctly: by now the set of rules me and my group are using is so different from the original ones that it would be almost misleading to use "Leader 1" in the title. And Leader 1 and Giro are actually one game, that's why you can find these rules here :) How have we ever gotten so far? We liked the game a lot from day 1, but were disappointed by some of its mechanics causing the races to resemble the real ones rather poorly, while offering very few strategic options. After lots of brainstorming and then testing, we finally arrived to this set of rules, which seems to play out nicely for all kinds of routes, while not being too complex. Enjoy! As a bonus, a separate section of comments, where I discuss the motivation and real-life examples behind the new rules. Also, a bunch of concepts we have invented from scratch in order to make the game more versatile or realistic: Appendix 1: additional concepts Appendix 2: cobbled races Appendix 3: individual time trials Appendix 4: team time trials Appendix 5: other classifications in stage races Appendix 6: simulating real races Appendix 7: peloton AD 2010 Last update: 21.01.2010.
