Description

Get ready to enter the savage splendor of ancient Rome in Gladiator, a game of man-to-man gladiatorial combat for 2 to 6 players. Each player takes on the role of a gladiator, superbly trained and equipped to fight to the death in the arena. With simultaneous movement and pre-plotted moves, you'll attempt to gain a positional advantage against your adversary and then decide on a combination of attacks and defensive measures to weaken, wound, or kill your opponent. The game features a range of gladiator types, each with their own unique set of ratings and equipment, from heavily armored warriors to lightly armored retiarii with nets and tridents. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, Gladiator is a quick and intense game of strategy and skill, where only the strongest will survive and the crowd's favor can be the difference between life and death.
