Eh oui, en terre germanique, la fable du Li&egrave;vre et de                    la Tortue est devenue celle du Li&egrave;vre et du H&eacute;risson.                    Les &eacute;ditions fran&ccedil;aise - il y en a eu une, il                    y a bien longtemps - et anglo-saxonnes de ce jeu montrent bien                    li&egrave;vre et tortue, mais les &eacute;ditions allemandes,                    les plus faciles &agrave; trouver, montrent un li&egrave;vre                    et un h&eacute;risson. Pour le reste, apologues et morales sont                    identiques: rien ne sert de courir, il faut partir &agrave;                    point.</font></p>                 <p><font color="#000000" size="-1">C'est bien d'une course qu'il                    s'agit, et le premier &agrave; amener son pion sur la derni&egrave;re                    case du parcours est vainqueur. Pas de d&eacute; cependant,                    dans ce jeu qui ne laisse presque aucune place au hasard: chacun                    &agrave; son tour d&eacute;cide librement de combien de cases                    il avance son pion.<br>                   O&ugrave; est le truc, me direz-vous? Eh bien, plus vous avancez                    d'un nombre important de cases, plus vous consommez de carburant,                    euh, pardon, de nourriture. 1 case co&ucirc;te 1 carotte, 2                    cases co&ucirc;tent 3 carottes, 3 cases co&ucirc;tent 6 carottes,                    10 cases co&ucirc;tent 55 carottes, et 30 cases en co&ucirc;tent                    465&#133; Pas de quoi aller bien loin avec les quelques dizaines                    de carottes. Il va donc vous falloir g&eacute;rer astucieusement                    votre stock, et parvenir &agrave; l'occasion &agrave; le reconstituer.                    Pour cela, on peut parfois reculer - cela rapport 10 carottes                    par case, dans certaines limites -, ou faire des paris sur la                    place que l'on occupera dans la course... un tour plus tard,                    apr&egrave;s que tous les autres concurrents aient jou&eacute;.                    Sans compter que nul ne peut gagner s'il ne s'est pas arr&ecirc;t&eacute;                    en route pour manger trois salades.</font></p>                 <p><font color="#000000" size="-1">Derri&egrave;re ce qui ressemble                    &agrave; un jeu de l'oie se cache un passionant jeu de strat&eacute;gie                    et de gestion, et sans doute le plus int&eacute;ressant de tous                    les jeux de course. Le jeu n'est pas complexe, mais il incite                    &agrave; la r&eacute;flexion, voire au calcul. C'est sans doute                    ce d&eacute;phasage entre l'aspect presque enfantin du jeu et                    sa richesse tactique qui l'ont emp&ecirc;ch&eacute; de trouver                    son public. Esp&eacute;rons que ce sera enfin le cas avec la                    nouvelle &eacute;dition que sortent, dans le courant de l'ann&eacute;e                    2000, Abacus et Rio Grande.</font></p>               </td>               <td valign=top>                  <p><font color="#000066" size="-1">Don't worry if you have troubles                    with finding a tortoise on these two pictures. In german speaking                    countries, the story of Hare and Tortoise has became Hare and                    Hedgehog. The french and english language editions of this game                    rightly show Hare and Tortoise, but I have pics of the german                    editions - old Ravensburger on the left, Abacus on the right                    - with Hare and Hedgehog. For the rest, tales and morals are                    the same: there's no use in running if you don't start in time.</font></p>                 <p><font color="#000066" size="-1">It's a race, of course, and                    the first player whose pawn reach the last square of the circuit                    wins. No dice however, and there's almost no place for luck                    in this game. Each player on turn decides how many squares forward                    his pawn will move.<br>                   OK, so where's the trick? The trick is that, the more squares                    you move, the more gas - oops, the more carrots - you will spend.                    1 square costs 1 carrot, 2 squares cost 3 carrots, 3 squares                    cost 6 carrots... 10 squares cost 55 carrots, and 30 squares                    cost 465 carrots, but you're not likely to have so many. Of                    course, you can't go very far with the few dozens of carrots                    you have at the beginning of the game. You'll have to manage                    very carefully your supplies and refill the tank when possible.                    You can do it with moving backward - 10 carrots per square,                    but there are limitations - or by betting on your future rank                    in the race... one turn later, after all other players have                    moved. And there's one more problem: noone can win if he didn't                    stop in time to eat three salads.</font></p>                 <p><font color="#000066" size="-1">Hare and Tortoise looks like                    a childish Goose variant. It definitely isn't. It's the most                    clever of all race games, a game of strategy and management                    with no place for luck. The rules are not complex, but they                    induce much thinking and recknoning. it's probably this hiatus                    between childish look and tactical depth that prevented this                    marvelous game from being a success among real gamers. It's                    still time, and I hopoe that the new 2000 edition, by Abacus                    and Rio Grande, will get it.</font></p>               </td>             </tr>             <tr>
