The History of 1000 Miglia

In 1925 the Mille Miglia Cup was created, a race around Italy which held from 1827 until 1957; the game pictures the period from 1927 to 1933. On the historic route from Brescia to Rome and back again to Brescia very different cards raced each other, interestedly watched by spectators along the route.

The details of the track parts are either flat, ascending or descending, the car cards list the characteristics of all cars. Depending on the status of the road you roll the black dice for a dry surface or the blue dice for a wet one. You decide on a year you want to play and then on the length of the race and finally choose a card that fits the year. When you choose to play the complete race you have 30 points that you can allocate to upgrades for your car. At the start of a leg you roll dice for weather conditions and from the second stage on cars start each leg according to the order of arrival at the finish of the previous leg. A turn comprises selection and noting down of speed, move car, cope with or implement technical actualities and modify speed on the table, if necessary. A leg can either end with a Flying Arrival at the finish line or with a check point. For a Flying Arrival you can use any speed and start the next leg with exactly this speed. For a check point you must brake to achieve the maximum speed that is allowed and your starting speed for the next leg will be Zero.

Legend offers an attractive and elegant simulation of a historic car race, a family version is available in a separate edition. The atmosphere of the race has been nicely caught, the flow of the game is challenging and is fun, too!
