Ram Speed
Ram Speed is a two-player game about battles between Greek, Roman, and Phoenician galleys (oar-powered warships). Players manuever their galleys and attempt to sink their opponents'. The game can be expanded to include multi-player or fleet actions. RamSpeed will bring to mind the clash of bronze and iron beaked warships, decks aswarm with catapults, archers, and marines. Galleys lacked the destructive power of modem, high-technology weapons, but to those early seamen, combat was just as deadly. Naval combat in the preChristian era had its own nasty surprises, which players will come to recognize and employ.
