## Description
1500 m puts you in the shoes of a runner in one of athletics' most iconic events. Here, there’s no luck in dice—just strategy and resource management. You start with 100 mental strength points, spent across three phases per round: movement card selection (with secret bids for advantages), pace adjustment (speeding up can be costly!), and natural race fatigue. Every decision matters: pushing too hard early might leave you exhausted later, while conserving energy could give you a final sprint advantage. The game also includes options for fewer players (using AI-controlled runners) and a faster 800-meter variant. Ideal for fans of bidding mechanics and resource management with an immersive sports theme.

## FAQ
### How many players can play?
3 to 8, but you can play with fewer using the AI runner rules.

### How long does it take?
40-80 minutes — depends on player count and how much everyone overthinks their bids!

### Do I need track knowledge?
Nope! The game teaches everything, but sports fans will enjoy the theme more.

### Is it too complex?
BGG weight 2.3/5: medium. Mechanics are simple, but mastering strategy takes practice.

Not at all! Cards use only numbers and universal icons.
