We enjoyed playing this game from it's great artwork to it's deceptively complex strategy – a great combination of skill and luck. For the price it is a great buy and I hope to be playing it quite a few more times, and hopefully winning next time!!. (I wrote a full review here: http://wp.me/pXLGE-1F)
Finalist Best Family Game Games 100 2005
Arena Maximus is a chariot racing game filled with thrills, spills, and spells for 2–5 players.
For the glory of the Emperor, these brave charioteers stand before you today to face the deadliest race track ever devised – Arena Maximus! The winner will receive the laurels of victory and the mantle of immortality from the Emperor himself. The losers will die and be erased from the annals of history. Will you dare to wager everything on one race? Immortality or oblivion await you on the Arena Maximus!
Pit your team against your opponents' charioteers on a track complete with traps, pitfalls, and other hazards. Race to be the first to finish, but remember – the faster you go, the more likely you are to crash! If you find yourself falling behind, call upon your arsenal of spells to skirt the dangers of the arena and get back in the running. However, don't fall too far behind, as there's only so much magic can do.
