A game by Reiner Knizia. In ancient Rome, violent competitions were held between gunmen in huge arenas. These games were intended to appease the rowdy people and to increase the Emperor's prestige. Reiner Knizia designed a board game around this exciting theme. Different teams of gladiators go against each other and wild beasts. The object of the game is to collect as many points as possible. For every enemy gladiator you kill, you get 1 point. Each animal killed earns you 2 points. The game proceeds in 2 major phases: a preparation and the actual match. Number of players: 2 - 5 Age: from 10 years Content: - game board representing the arena - 60 gladiator tokens - 8 javelin throwers - 8 net throwers - 28 swordsmen - 8 two-tooth fighters - 8 shield bearers - 20 plow plates in 5 different colors - 5 special dice - 12 animals - 12 wooden stars to indicate hits - 1 wooden disc with a sword on it, used as a battle pointer - game rules
