📖 About This Game
Plucked from daily life by our sponsor Flavius and forced into vicious arena events, players are tasked
with surviving in a deadly gladiator arena at the twisted delight of Flavius and for the much needed favor
of the crowds. With your body, freedom, and friendships at stake, will tensions push you to defy the sponsor
and serve for personal glory, or will you accept and satisfy Flavius' rule?
Flavius Rule is a turn-based gladiatorial strategy game for 4x players
(with extra events supporting 1-8x players)
Starting with a humble class loadout, each player tries to advance their gladiator in several ways;
battling savage arena animals and spawned opponents, acquiring shiny new armor and weapons,
precious coin, strategic tokens, gracious crowd favor, or drawing helpful, albeit risky arena cards.
The Summa Rudis, NPCs, pesky spectators and more will hinder your chance for success, however
the most difficult challenge will be eliminating one another to be the last remaining player.
