Overview

Geared: Build Your Bike is a bike-building card game in which players race against one another to assemble bicycles and be the first to earn 1000 points. The bicycle parts cards show frames, handlebars, and wheels, with the parts coming in five quality levels. On a turn, a player lays down 1-3 parts cards (with multiples being allowed only for parts of the same level) or plays one action card (remove, steal or swap). He can swap cards freely between his incompletely built bicycles. When a bicycle is complete — that is, has all three parts — then the player scores points; if the bicycle has parts of different levels, then he scores the sum of those parts' values, but if the levels match, then he scores a set value worth more than the individual parts. Once completed, a bicycle can't be disassembled to move parts to other bikes.
