About Spokes

Spokes is a fast-paced cycling game in which players create cycle paths by swapping spokes from their wheels for those on the board, creating routes and changing options along everyone's routes, resulting in fast and dynamic play. Each turn, players select a spoke on their wheel to swap for one on the track, then travel down a contiguously-colored track containing the spoke they placed. As the game continues, players build, share, and dismantle routes, managing the selection of spokes at their disposal for efficient cycling on the best routes. Play goes around the table until one player has completed three laps and wins. Players can draft other bikes and use the reserved energy to pull ahead at opportune moments. This helps to recreate the excitement and theme of cycling, with the best players knowing when to sit behind other players, use their routes, and overtake them at the last minute for the win! Rules include team, multi-bike, and solo variants.
