Read the full game description

Circus Imperium is a tongue in cheek chariot racing game loosely based on FASA's RPG Renegade Legion. Players attempt to complete three circuts while keeping their chariots and drivers intact. The main challenge is manuvering around the bends while attempting to disable or block your opponents. The game has some brief miniature rules and provisions for all sorts of carnage. Manuvering cards also add a bit of randomness to the race. Not for the serious strategist, but all in all a nice fun diversion.
