Description

Get ready for a thrilling chariot racing experience with Ben Hur, a classic game designed by Jean du Poël. In this ancient racing game, 2 to 6 players compete to be the first to complete a full lap, and it's easy to learn the rules and get started. Players move their chariots by playing cards from their hand and using a miniature wargame-style ruler to determine how far they can go. As you navigate the track, you can choose to play it safe with standard movement cards or take a risk with higher-risk-higher-reward cards. But beware - your competitors can try to sabotage you with dirty tricks like whipping you to distraction. With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Ben Hur is a fun and exciting game that's perfect for anyone who loves racing and competition.
