	Description Edit \| History

Circus Imperium is a tongue in cheek chariot racing game loosely based on FASA's RPG Renegade Legion. Players attempt to complete three circuts while keeping their chariots and drivers in tact. The main challenge is manuvering around the bends while attempting to disable or block your opponents. The game has some brief miniature rules and provisions for all sorts of carnage. Manuvering cards also add a bit of randomness to the race. Not for the serious strategist, but all in all a nice fun diversion.

Boys in the Bend Cheer Sheet

We took all the Boys in the Bend cheers from the Cornering cards and gave them to the drivers, and the spectators - so that they could cheer along.
