Excerpt from the introduction:
"RamSpeed is a two-player game about battles between Greek, Roman, and Phoenician galleys (oar-powered warships). Players maneuver their galleys and attempt to sink their opponants' galleys. ... RamSpeed will bring to mind the clash of bronze and iron-beaked warships, decks aswarm with catapults, archers, and marines."
