Travel to the fantasy realm of Valoron, a land of magic, chivalry and high-octane competition. At the Falconus Academy, students earn their motorized knighthood by building and piloting Racers. Students and teachers are chosen from the five species of Valoron: humans, mystical alfar, brutish ogres, devious serpid, and wily gremlins. Each species brings its own tactics and strengths to the arena. Students compete to be the best of the best and represent their species in jousts for pride and honor.
Racer Knights of Falconus lets players assemble fantastic vehicles (called Racers) from punch-out plastic cards then facing each other in a game that melds demolition derby and knightly jousts. Each Racer includes four key components: a chassis, an engine, a set of tires, and a weapon. Each also has a Knight as a pilot and can have up to four shields. Every part is interchangeable so that any chassis can use any engine or set of tires, for example. This interchangeability even reaches across the five species in the game, so that an ogre Knight can pilot a Racer built on a human chassis, but with a gremlin engine, serpid tires, and an alfar weapon. This allows players to tweak their Racers to perfectly suit their play styles.
The base set of Racer Knights of Falconus includes over 100 different plastic Racer components and over 20 Knights, making for well over a million possible (and playable) combinations.
