| DESCRIPTION
Translating as "By the Width of a Tire," this game covers a Tour de France-type of bicycle race. Each player takes control of a four-member racing team, and the goal is to score as many points as possible for the whole team. Movement is primarily handled by dice, however in some of the more advanced games, a limited card set partially replaces die results. Once you add unique rules which allow riders to draft one another and multiple kinds of road surfaces, this game has much to offer race fans.
Homas Tour is the original edition of the cycle racing game later known as Um Reifenbreite.
Published in 1991 was the more widely held reprint (Jumbo also produced a Dutch edition called Demarrage). Many copies of the game were destroyed in a warehouse fire. The combination of its sudden rarity and recognition as a good game meant that Homas Tour was (and is) very desirable, particularly to collectors. Everyone else can save their money and enjoy Um Reifenbreite!
