Gladiatori Board Game

During the Roman Empire, gladiator combat was the most popular form of entertainment. Fighters from all parts of the Empire were included in the shows, including female gladiators. So much fame and glory was there, that wealthy Roman citizens, and in some cases, Aristocrats participated. Now the time has come for you to gain the immortal glory of the Arena. Fight for your honor, fame and for your life! Gladiatori is a card-driven game in which each player assumes the role of a gladiator in the Ancient Roman Empire. Simultaneous action selection drives figure movement on the board. Combat cards give energy to the character actions and are used as hit points. Characters are customizable, and each player has to choose his deck composition, character skills, and participate in the auctions for Arena items. At the end, the winner will be determined by victory points – or simply by being the only one left alive! The players are fighters that clash in the Arena during the Ancient Roman Empire. The aim of the game is to become the most famous Gladiator in Rome. Fame and glory are measured by Victory Points (VP) which are scored fighting with honor and defeating other gladiators. A game lasts 6 turns or until all players except one are eliminated (or when a team is eliminated). At the end of the game, the player with the most VPs is the winner (or the team with the most VP). The game has a character creation part, followed by the combat. Each player has a number of creation points to create his character. With creation points, a player buys Character Skills and then Combat cards. When this process is finished, players choose Item Cards and are then ready to play.
