Hell  for  Leather

The Ogri Board Game

This is a light motorcycle racing board game based on the characters of Paul Sample's 'Ogri' comics.

 It is basically a roll and move game, with a number of cards that can be played at various times to

 enhance one's own progress or inhibit that of the another player. The game consists of three

 individual races and a total of six laps around the course, played with different dice to represent the

 speed / intensity of each race. At the end of each race, players acquire sponsors based on their

 performance, and have the opportunity to spend money to purchase upgrades to their bikes for future

 heats. The overall winner is the first player to cross the finish line in the third race. The game is very

 aesthetically appealing, with board, card, and box art by Paul Sample and pewter miniatures for

 player pawns. 2 - 6 pl.

From the back of the box: "Hell for Leather"  board game is a fast, freaky race around the world

 famous Isle of Man T.T. course, featuring a host of the best loved characters from Paul Sample's cult

 comic strip Ogri, which has appeared in Bike Magazine since 1972. A game for 2-6 players, Hell for

 Leather is all about high speeds, hard cash, 'Derring Do', and dirty tricks. Relying on guile, cunning,

 and hopefully a little luck, set your sights firmly on the chequered flag... and go for it! Pressure

builds as you progress through the races with sponsorship funding, heaps of trouble, and laughs

aplenty. When fair play and skilful riding are not enough, deft use of your nasty 'nerg nail', 'orrible oil

slick' and other 'cheats' picked up along the way may assist you in the 'no holds barred' charge for

 glory."

Designed and produced In England and Ogri's creator, cartoonist Paul Sample (also known for the

 cover artwork on many of Tom Sharpe's novels), Hell for Leather! with Ogri at the TT is a traditional

 board game of the highest quality, and includes hand cast pewter playing pieces representing all

 your favourite Ogri characters.Competitors fight their way through several jeats, vying for extra

 sponsorship with which to buy performance upgrades before dodging oil patches and Nerg Nails in a

 final race, which will no doubt finish in a thrilling climax of dirty tactics, Shouting and the renewa

l of long-forgotten family feuds.... 

OGRI'S creators have added a new board game to the range of products celebrating the cartoon biking
