The ground trembles under a thousand angry hoofbeats. Wheels creak and reins pull as racers drive their horses forward in a panic. You are a charioteer in the Circus Maximus, the greatest raceway in the ancient world.
A crescendo of noise builds with each lap. Chariots collide, whips crack. The crowd cheers for a surprising breakaway, rumbles as a favorite is damaged and falls behind. From the imperial box, the emperor laughs and shouts. Clouds of dust obscure the bright banners of the four factions.
Three hundred thousand fans are on their feet as you turn the final corner. This is not the finish they expected. You lead by a length, and only one rival remains; each throws the last of their energy into one final sprint. Many thousands are despondent, other thousands exultant and joyous. Their shouts become a roar, a long scream, as you surge for the finish line. Another hundred yards will make you a hero.
Charioteer is a new game from Sekigahara author Matt Calkins. Like Matt's previous games, Charioteer features simple rules, quick play, and novel mechanisms.
Charioteer is a strategic racing game that plays in one hour. Each player controls a chariot in the Circus Maximus of ancient Rome. There's lots of action, and it happens quickly, with simultaneous move selection.

A low complexity but very fun game
After playing long, complicated games for several years now it was a pleasure to get back to a simple, fun game. It's easy to play, quick to learn, and plays within an hour or two. A great game for quick fun.

Euro Racing
Charioteer is an interesting game. It is reminiscent of all of those old chariot racing games, like Circus Max, but with a euro like card play, where you try to match symbols to make moves and take actions. Racers also can improve skills as the game progresses. Very interesting and fun.

Simple and Accessible if not Thematic
Charioteer is, at the end of the day, a game of making tactical card playing choices. It's pretty straightforward and extremely accessible to any level of gaming group, but due to this the theme is sometimes sacrificed. Still, it was fun.
