About the 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).

Questions and answers
Gladiatoris supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Gladiatoris is 30–180 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Gladiatoris for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Gladiatoris has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
