Description:
Panem et circenses!
Was the cry uttered by crowds visiting the Circus Maximus in 500 BC. In the yearly holidays, of which there were over 200, the roman population gathered in this prestigious arena to watch the incredible chariot races.
With the reedition of this classic game, players can now recapture the spirit of the races by taking part in a three lap race.
Drawing from their cards, players try to out-race one another and finish first, vying for the adulation of the masses and recognition from the Emperor himself.
Each player has three cards in hand, which allow him to move a certain distance on the board, but knowing that these cards will barely be able to see him through the race, and that he WILL have to slow down in order to pay hommage to the Emperor, the compition to finish will be hard..
After a few races, the player with the most laurels wins the tournament, the adoration of the masses and will be remembered as a colosseum legend.

|  Not so great...
Talk about dissapointment...
I went for this game hoping it would be kind a streamlined version, with better design and pieces, of the old and out-of-print Avalon Hill "Circus Maximus", a great but very disjointed game, but that captured the flavour of the races like no game before or after.
Nope. Ave Caesar is an old style "roll the dice and move" game. Nothing more than that. Yes, the dice are replaced by cards and, since the players have a limited amount of cards and three of them at each time in their hands, it sure makes room for some decision making. But, at its core, it's still a "roll the dice and move" game. And, after playing games like Speed Circuit and even Formula D (which has dice, but a whole other concept), I simply cannot find Ave Caesar a good game.
I understand, however, how it can be a good introcutory game for kids, since the cards use will get them to planing their moves more thant the usual games children play at 7, 8 , 9 years of age, I guess.
