Every year since at least 1826, eccentric individuals from around the globe gather at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire to chase a rolling wheel of Double Gloucester cheese down a steep slope. It’s a thrilling spectacle, with competitors risking injuries, as the region’s emergency services know all too well.
With the growing envy for those cheese-chasing enthusiasts and their daredevil antics, the game Cheese Rolling has been launched for free. You can play as one of up to eight unfortunate Britons who must capture the cheese wheel rolling down the hill to win.
As you engage in the physics-based antics, you have just enough control to feel as if you are mastering the art of cheese rolling—until gravity catches up and you find yourself tumbling along with others in a heap at the bottom.
Cheese Rolling, with its entertaining chaos, also includes a single-player mode for those wishing to perfect their skills in solitude. This quirky game is available now on Steam.
