ROME. SAND. SPEED.
Build a stable, survive the metae, and earn the palm.
Drag to pan, wheel to zoom. The editor’s bar is 14.
Race: write a secret tablet each turn: speed, lane at the next meta, whip, and a tactic. All tablets resolve together over twelve impulses.
Turns: the rail is shortest but slower through the metae. Outside lanes carry more speed but cost more ground.
Arena: choose ground and a blow. Every weapon has a minimum and maximum reach.
The bookmaker's sheet compares the eight teams before the carceres open. Odds are descriptive, not guarantees.
Top = maximum team speed. Turn = cornering factor. Wind = team stamina. Hull = chariot durability. Skills are H/N/W/G: handling, nerve, whip, guile.
