Alleycat

This card game is based on the informal sport of the same name, with players racing bicycles through an unfamiliar city. Three checkpoints and a starting point are placed randomly, and each player chooses a route that visits all three checkpoints in any order. Players use energy each turn to move or play cards. Road cards extend the map, while action cards affect roads or accessories stored in backpacks. The game ends after the round in which a player collects all three checkpoints; the player who does so alone wins, while multiple successful players share the victory.
