First game of Faustus Furius tonight, the new (in English) game from Ganesha Games
Totally fun, very fast action, and as with all their games, you are faced with a plethora of tactical decisions.
The family plays one chariot game a year at the annual Con. They love it so much I made custom chariots for Sara and Miles. With this game, the chariots will be out a lot more often. The blue one I threw together today, need at least one more chariot so we all can play.
Heading in to the first turn, it's a tight race with Helen in the front, Miles swerving to miss, and the Jovi chariot bringing up the rear.
A tighter view of the turn.
And a double-crash! Both Helen and Miles roll their chariots. Unlike our other game, you are not done once you flip. You have a chance to get back in the race, and they both did. The white triangle is a turning guide I made.
Lots of action in Turn 2. Sara crashed into the wall hard. Miles took the wide line, after inciting a crowd onto the track, directly into the path of Helen. Mobs on the track are an imposing obstacle.
Turn 3 isn't any cleaner. Helen dropped a mob right in front of Miles, then Sara careened into the path. In the end, nobody hit the mob, but Miles hit the wall and never recovered.
This is a blast of a game, can be used for any sort of racing. Really into these rules, will use them for sorts of racing.
