What was first published, Solarquest or CirKis?
Solarquest SolarQuest is a space-age real estate trading board game published in 1985 and developed by Valen Brost, after his having conceived the idea in 1976. The game is patterned after "Monopoly" but replaces pewter tokens with rocketships and hotels with metallic fuel stations. Players travel around the sun acquiring planet, moon, and man-made space structure monopolies while fending off attacks. They seek to knock their opponents out of the game through bankruptcy, as well as optional laser blasts and dwindling fuel supplies (when using the Advanced Play ruleset).
Fasti (poem) The Fasti (Latin: "Fastorum Libri Sex" , "Six Books of the Calendar"), sometimes translated as The Book of Days or On the Roman Calendar, is a six-book Latin poem written by the Roman poet Ovid and published in 8 AD. Ovid is believed to have left the "Fasti" incomplete when he was exiled to Tomis by the emperor Augustus in 8 AD. Written in elegiac couplets and drawing on conventions of Greek and Latin didactic poetry, the "Fasti" is structured as a series of eye-witness reports and interviews by the first-person "vates" ("poet-prophet" or "bard") with Roman deities, who explain the origins of Roman holidays and associated customs—often with multiple aetiologies. The poem is a significant, and in some cases unique, source of fact in studies of religion in ancient Rome; and the influential anthropologist and ritualist J.G. Frazer translated and annotated the work for the Loeb Classical Library series. Each book covers one month, January through June, of the Roman calendar, and was written several years after Julius Caesar replaced the old system of Roman time-keeping with what would come to be known as the Julian calendar.
