I don't normally write reviews, but for this game I will. Faustus Furius is an absolute blast of a game. We are playing it with 1:72 chariots, but it could be played in many scales. We have also started building pod racers and will use the same rules.
The game is very fast-play. The rules are easily grasped, my youngest player is 8. And yet there is plenty of depth and tactical choices so that even I, the jaded gamer, don't get bored. There is an interesting twist to the basic "Songs of" dice mechanic that works well to represent fatigue as the race extends.
Cannot recommend this game highly enough. If you are interested in racing games, this is for you.
