Rome Gladiators (Board game)

Background of board game "Roman Gladiators"

“Never underestimate yourself. Efforts will pay off.”

Around the 1st century AD, managers of gladiatorial schools picked and purchased slaves in the slave markets and trained them as top gladiators. They had to be discerning and compete with other managers for the most potential and powerful slaves, and train the chosen slaves as top gladiators. Gladiators had to fight in the naumachia at amphitheaters of Rome to entertain the spectators and fight for their own lives.

Players need to make the magnificent amphitheaters of Rome and warships in the naumachia, and imagine they are managers of gladiatorial schools. Use dice, wisdom and impressive communication skills to compete with other managers for the most potential slaves and train them as extraordinary gladiators. The gladiators fight with each other to ensure balance in the battle. The gladiator who received the most cheers finally wins.
