Circus Imperium is a light-hearted science fiction chariot racing board game published in 1988 by FASA.
[1] The object of the game is to defeat the other racers by either crossing the finish line first, or more typically by knocking them out of the race or getting them eaten by the monsters.
The fifth in the series was Circus Imperium, designed by L. Ross Babcock, III, Sam Lewis, and Jordan Weisman, and published as a boxed set by FASA in 1988.
Ral Partha produced a series of lead figures for the game, including chariots, senators and imperial guards.
[3] GM magazine praised the inclusion of some game components that were lacking in Circus Maximus – large track, cardboard buildings, tokens – while noting their flimsiness.
