Circus Maximus

A Charioteer who conducts a Crowd Pleaser becomes, however briefly, the People’s Favourite.  The player receives a token of some type to signify this status.

The fame of the people may be spent to conduct a variant of the usual compulsory movement which ignores all other vehicles, wrecks, mobs etc. in its path.  The charioteer is buoyed up by adrenalin and the roar of the masses and somehow manages to jump over or otherwise navigate their way through the obstacles.

This special movement can be made on any turn, but once the special move has been made the charioteer loses his status as Peoples Favourite and must give up the token.

A charioteer will lose this status if another player conducts a Crowd Pleaser.  In effect the other driver’s antics have stolen the people’s favour; the crowd is fickle, and charioteers are advised to use their fame whilst it lasts.

To keep tokens and the like to a minimum I have decided that I shall use nice gold embossed dice to represent the ‘Peoples Favourite’ status.  White embossed dice for everyone else.

A few more pictures of how the game is coming along.  I have ordered some little cocktail sticks with fancy ends that I will use as flag poles to line the top of the Circus walls.  I just think that it will help finish things off a bit and add an extra element of glitz to the feel and look of the set-up.

So, to do I now have;

• 2 Bases of ‘Mob’ (Pretorian Guards).
• Some Praetorians to ‘stand around’.
• The flags for the Circus Walls (Awaiting the arrival of cocktail sticks).
• Measurement Sticks (Including deciding on lengths).
• Quick Reference Sheets.
• Something to determine turn order (I have something in mind for this already).

I am open to any suggestions of what else I should/could/or need to add.
