Gladiatori is a card-driven game in which each player assumes the role of a gladiator in the Ancient Roman Empire.

Action selection drives figure movement on the board. Combat cards give energy to the character actions and are used as hit points. Characters are customizable, and each player has to choose his deck composition, character skills, and participate in the auctions for Arena items. At the end, the winner will be determined by victory points – or simply by being the only one left alive!

 

A game lasts 6 turns or until all players except one are eliminated (or when a team is eliminated). At the end of the game, the player with the most VPs is the winner (or the team with the most VP).
The game has a character creation part, followed by the combat. Each player has a number of creation points to create his character. With creation points, a player buys Character Skills and then Combat cards. When this process is finished, players choose Item Cards and are then ready to play.
