TABLE-MotoGP, the official MotoGP championship board game, will be on sale from 1st November. The game, created by “motorbike fanatics”, will have an exceptional godfather, Randy Mamola, the winner of13 grand prix and founder and active member of the NGO Riders For Health, with which they will actively collaborate.
The first MotoGP board game for all the family is finally here, brought to us by Games for Table Races. Who could have guessed that this idea would arrive in the 21st century,in the middle of the digital era! MotoGP, one of the most watched sports in the world, has now found its place in a product category - board games - which, paradoxically, has been growing constantly in Europe in the last few years.
Table-MotoGP, a product licensed by Dorna Sports, is a brand new game based on rules which allow you to combine the magic of racing with your own luck, and which will appeal to motorbike lovers and the general public alike. The race is full of effects which will make you forget you are only competing on a board... You can choose your own team from among 11 choices, as well as your favourite among the 19 riders of 8 different nationalities.
Almost encroaching on the field of model motorbikes, the counters have been replaced with “miniature bikes”. The circuits are faithful copies of the real courses, to the extent of including replicas of the stands, advertising, pits and control tower.
The game is played like a real competition, where you must combine the score of the dice with your racer's instinct in order to:• get good times in practice sessions in order to win the pole.
• watch out for the shape of each curve and control your speed.
• avoid falling (caused by landing on black squares).
• avoid wasting time skidding on oil patches or going to the pits.
• take care of your bike, taking care not to land on the “Engine Failure” square.
• ensure you never run out of petrol.
In addition, you can choose what circuit to race on from the 6 tracks in the MotoGP Championship Calendar, including Le Mans, TT Assen, Donington Park, Twin Ring Motegi, Mugello and Circuit de Catalunya, all of which are included in the base game. Another great advantage of this game is that it can be played by 2 to 11 players, so you will never have a problem finding someone to play with and share a good time. Competitiveness is guaranteed. Anyway, good luck trying to reach the top! Experience the pressure of being part of a real team and the feeling of being a MotoGP racer!

Riders for Health is an international non-profit organisation born out of the world of motorcycle racing. This NGO is aware of the importance of transport and the problems affecting Africa, and acts accordingly, providing a practical and dynamic solution with real, sustainable results. Riders for Health carries out a very important task, providing vehicles to take health aid to places that it can't usually reach. It currently has three national programmes, in Gambia, Zimbabwe and Nigeria, where it has implemented effective prevention maintenance systems using two and four wheel vehicles to provide health aid.
There are also two smaller programmes, working with other NGOs in Kenya and Tanzania. This innovative work, which is managed by wholly African teams, means that health aid never fails to arrive in these areas, however harsh the conditions. Riders for Health helps almost 11 million people throughout Africa receive basic health care. This enables them to fight disease and look forward to a better future.
HRH Princess Anne of England The Patron of this remarkable NGO is HRH Princess Anne of England, who is proud to lend her image to this admirable work. “Everyone who visits Africa is struck by the vast distances between towns and villages and the almost total absence of good roads; but so few people make the connection between lack of transport and lack of development”. “Riders for Health, of which I am Patron, has developed exactly the solutions that are needed. The various tried and tested transport systems developed by Riders have already saved thousands of lives in Africa”.
