This is the classic game from 1979 from Avalon Hill! Eight teams race around the track three times to determine victory. Players prepare by selecting the composition of their team of horses, driver skills, and chariot type that will be driven. Once the race begins, the players are free to do as they wish to the other racers, including whipping the rider, ramming chariots with scythed wheels, smashing into horses, and driving over fallen drivers!

For the most part, the official rules will be followed in this game, except for a few homebrew rules to accelerate the game to an exciting finish! This will be played on a big board with 1-inch squares and scaled chariot miniatures for 8 players! It is not expected to take the full 4-hour time slot.
