Game Contents 1 Double-sided Game Board, 6 Plastic Chariots, 6 Plastic Denari (Tribute Coins), 6 Decks of cards, 1 Rule Book, all in a box approximately 12" x 9" x 2.8" Box Description Ave Caesar This was the chant shouted by thousands upon thousands of Romans as they poured into the great arenas (circuses) on over 200 holidays per year to enjoy the epic competitions of Ancient Rome. The largest of these arenas was the famous Circus Maximus, erected between the Palatine and Aventine hills. Here, circa 500 BC, spectators were treated to horse-drawn chariot races, in which competitors struggled through 7 laps around a perilous 1200 meter course. Wolfgang Riedesser has recreated these daring races in this game. Since its initial publication in 1989, Ave Caesar has developed a cult following like few other games. It is well known for its quick and exciting play. In Ave Caesar, you and up to five other charioteers compete in Circus Maximus to determine who is the greatest driver in all of Rome. The racer who most skillfully navigates their chariot over the course of three laps will receive the most Laurels. After several races, whoever has collected the most Laurels wins the tournament, and the adulation of countless thousands. Each race will play out differently - see if you will be the next charioteer to triumphantly shout out, 'Ave Caesar!!!' Games in a Box Notes More info from the Asmodee Editions website... Panem et circenses! Was the cry uttered by crowds visiting the Circus Maximus in 500 BC. In the yearly holidays, of which there were over 200, the roman population gathered in this prestigious arena to watch the incredible chariot races. With the reedition of this classic game, players can now recapture the spirit of the races by taking part in a three lap race. Drawing from their cards, players try to out-race one another and finish first, vying for the adulation of the masses and recognition from the Emperor himself. Each player has three cards in hand, which allow him to move a certain distance on the board, but knowing that these cards will barely be able to see him through the race, and that he WILL have to slow down in order to pay hommage to the Emperor, the compition to finish will be hard.. After a few races, the player with the most laurels wins the tournament, the adoration of the masses and will be remembered as a colosseum legend. Features:
