Circus Maximus (game)

Circus Maximus (game)

Circus Maximus is a chariot-racing board game originally published by Battleline Publications in 1979, but better known for the 1980 Avalon Hill edition. It was designed by Michael E. Matheny with Don Greenwood working on the second edition. Up to eight players choose teams of horses and drivers, and race their custom chariots around an oval track. Charioteers are encouraged to physically attack their opponents with whips, drive opposing chariots into walls, and hamstring their horses with wheel-mounted blades.

    The game has become very popular at gaming conventions in an oversized form, with 10-foot (3.0 m)-long boards and baseball-sized chariots.
