📖 About This Game
GLADIATORIS is a board game from 1 to 4 players (up to 6 with any of our future expansions sets), that recreates Roman amphitheatre’s combats. Each player takes the role of a lanista -gladiator trainer-, and must send their Beasts, Slaves and Gladiators to face their rivals'. The winner will be the player with more Sestertii after all the combats, no matter if their combatants outlived them or not.
In GLADIATORIS, each player chooses a gladiator school, a team of fighters specialized in a particular combat technique. To achieve victory, they will need good judgement investing their money, as well as combat expertise, luck and the favor of the gods.
Basic Game teams: SCUTARII (Great Shields, reds), PARMULARII (Small Shields, greens), SINE SCUTO (No Shield, blues), PETAURISTAE (Acrobats, orange).
