Critique - Thunder Alley

Watch “Critique - Thunder Alley,” a board game review for Thunder Alley from MonsieurMiniatures on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by MonsieurMiniatures on YouTube:

Pour cette seconde vidéo dédiée aux jeux de courses, voici la critique de l'un de mes favoris, Thunder Alley. Nous changeons d'univers, par rapport à Rallyman GT, avec la Nascar. Discipline malheureusement boudée par le public français, ce qui est fort dommage, car il rate un spectacle de quasiment tous les instants. Les courses de Nascar n'ont en effet rien à voir avec la F1 de ce point de vue. Les dépassements sont en effet extrêmement fréquents et les voitures sont à quelques centimètres les unes des autres à plus de 300 km/h ! D'autant plus que, contrairement à l'image d'Épinal, ces courses ne se situent pas uniquement sur des circuits ovales, mais également sur des circuits routiers. Il y a également plusieurs physionomies d'ovales, offrant des courses radicalement différentes. Ceci étant dit, même si le public tout désigné de ce genre de jeu est évidemment l'amateur de ce sport, il a réellement toutes les qualités requises pour combler tout joueur adepte de jeux de courses ! Pour les amateurs de Nascar, vous constaterez que Thunder Alley réussit le tour de force de recréer réellement toutes les spécificités qui font le charme de ce sport mécanique que j'adore ! Comme pour Rallyman GT, il y a deux parties dans cette vidéo. Tout d'abord, la description du matériel, puis quelques explications sur les règles. Voici le sommaire de ces deux parties : 00:30 Présentation du jeu et de ses extensions 18:00 Explication des règles Vous pouvez naturellement retrouver ce jeu sur la boutique : https://www.monsieurminiatures.com/products/thunder-alley/ Voici les liens des groupes Facebook français que tout fan de Nascar se doit de connaître ! :) : https://www.facebook.com/groups/207538379260783/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/920227324774681/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1255610217862435/ Le site de GMT, sur la page du jeu, où l'on retrouve pas mal de liens et notamment celui vers les règles en français: https://www.gmtgames.com/p-359-thunder-alley.aspx Vous pouvez également les télécharger directement ici : https://www.monsieurminiatures.com/download/thunder-alley-regles-en-francais/ Le P500 pour la seconde impression des cartes supplémentaires Crew Chief : https://www.gmtgames.com/p-839-thunder-alley-crew-chief-2nd-printing.aspx Thunder Alley sur BGG : https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/108906/thunder-alley Pour les adeptes de Sim Racing et particulièrement iRacing, qui est la seule simulation à offrir de la Nascar, un forum français organisant des courses virtuelles est particulièrement actif : https://forum.i-frn.com/index.php La chaîne Paddock TV diffuse (en français toujours) les courses virtuelles organisées par i-FRN, entre autres : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4FJ3jw7-HQd2ei41aFzSiw Pour conclure, quel que soit l'univers favoris des amateurs de jeux de courses, Thunder Alley ne vous décevra pas ! :) *Crédits vidéos: La chaîne YouTube officielle de la Nascar, où vous pourrez retrouver des centaines de vidéos et des courses complètes, y compris des classiques des années précédentes : https://www.youtube.com/user/TheOfficialNASCAR/featured Ne pas oublier non plus Automoto la chaîne, qui est la seule en France à diffuser les courses de Nascar en direct les dimanches soir ! On trouve quelques vidéos très intéressantes et didactiques sur la Nascar sur leur chaîne YouTube avec leur playlist Nascar University : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwWhywMYvgYC6As09dYAIyvu2uH1b37ET

About Thunder Alley, from BoardGameGeek:

Thunder Alley is a stock car racing game for 2–7 players with the feel and flexibility of a card-driven simulation. Drafting, teamwork, accidents, yellow flags, pit strategy, working to lead laps, and sprints to the finish are all included and bring the feel of racing to the game. Players control not one car, but a team of 3–6 cars. Thus, each race is not only a run for the checkered flag but an effort to maximize the score for every car on your team. Winning is important, but if only one car crosses the finish line, your team might end up outside the winner's circle looking in. The game includes four different types of movement, often with many cars moving with the play of a single card, and each type has its place and time: Solo movement allows you to break away from the pack. Draft and pursuit movement are best used for keeping your team of cars together. Lead movement can create a pack of cars that moves toward the front. Turns are fast, each play is important, and the track situation is fluid. The wrong movement in the wrong situation can be disastrous, with you possibly being left out of the draft and all alone. Experienced players will be able to identify the best type of movement for the current situation. Cars suffer wear over the course of a race and need to take pit stops. Tire wear, suspension difficulties, fuel issues, and major engine and transmission problems are all modeled in the game. If you feel lucky, you might try to hold it together just a little bit longer in hopes that a yellow flag will come out and cause a mass rush into the pits. Waiting on a yellow that never comes can be maddening as the rest of the pack moves by your worn-out car. What's more, an events deck can make your strategy pay off or punish you for your failure to take precautions. Accidents, yellow flags, worsening track situations, and deteriorating cars are all part of the game. Could all of your perfect strategy be derailed by those incoming rain clouds? Included in the game are four different race tracks: a tri-oval super speedway for wide-open free-wheeling racing and a short track for a tight wheel-to-wheel bumper car duel. Each track uses the same deck of racing cards but the cards that work best on one may be useless in the other. The game also includes a second board with a road course and and 3 turned (triangle) raceway. Most racing games call for a large number of players to play the game at its best. An unusual bonus for Thunder Alley is the very playable and exciting two-player version with six cars on a side.
