"Uri, vinciri, verberari, ferroque necari" "I will resist, to be burned, tied, beaten, to die by sword" The Coliseo is the throbing heart of Rome and as a "lanista", owner of "ludus", you will train and pay for the greatest champion of the arena that will serve and fight for you and your honor. Auctions will take place to sell the best fighters. You will have the chance to develop your infrastructures and set combats. Each victory for your "ludus" is a line written in History. The main objective of Ludi Gladiatorii is to achieve 7 points of Fame and Glory. This is gained by either making your "Ludum" bigger or by wining combats. You have at your disposal several gladiators that you can either sell, order to build or to fight. Another section are combats with a drawing damage cards system.
