6-Tage Rennen, German for Six-Day Race, is a bicycle racing board game published by Holtmann VIP in 1986 for three to eight players. The game was created as a promotional item tied to the revival of six-day track cycling races in Germany during that period, a historic competitive cycling format in which teams race continuously on an indoor track over six days. In play, participants compete across a series of single-lap races, each player controlling a cyclist piece that advances around a track-shaped board, with the winner of each lap being the first cyclist to cross that lap's finish line. The game's design mirrors the pack tactics and repeated-lap structure of real six-day racing, giving players a simplified board-game version of the endurance and positioning strategy that competitive track cyclists use during an actual six-day event.
