About the game

What is Circus Maximus

"The grandeur and decadence of ancient Rome in your living room! Thrill to the dust of chariot races, or the skillful bloodshed of gladiatorial combat. From Battleline, the original publisher:

Circus Maximus is really TWO games in one.

In Chariot Race, you pick your team of horses, driver, and chariot car, each of which have special characteristics .

In Gladiator, you pick up your weapons and step onto the bloodstained sands, simultaneously maneuvering, striking, and waiting for that fatal step that puts you inside your opponent's guard."

Madness!! so much hurt in this game haha, it is fun, lot of luck involved with many dices on it, but we go many laughs although we couldn't finish the race. Want to try again.
