Description

"Chlén! The six-legged beast of burden. Beloved of Avánthe, cursed by foot traffic, plodding steadily on, transporting an empire. Complain not of the chlén to those of the High Tower, who raise them and work their hide, or to Turning Wheel, who guide the ponderous chlén carts along the Sákbe Road. And when these clans challenge each other to a race on the Sákbe Road, let the by-stander beware! It's a contest of wits, endurance and cunning. Of course, it's also strictly illegal, so keep inducements at hand and the betting under the table."

This board game is set in M. A. R. Barker's World of Tékumel. Ms. Donnelly seems to have based it loosely on her RPG scenario of the same name that appeared in Issue Seven (04/22/04) of the Book of Visitations of Glory.
