As Rome rebuilds, the public demands entertainment! Emperor Nero wants you to sponsor games in the Colosseum, where gladiators will engage in thrilling battles for the pleasure of the crowds. It's up to you to build ludi, where gladiators can be trained in one of two competing schools, and arenas, where they can train. You will then assign the gladiators to the Colosseum to fight! All this excitement has also given rise to new advisors who offer tempting rewards to those who dare to bribe them...
The Rome & Roll: Gladiators expansion introduces a new Colosseum sub-board, gladiator dice, new shared advisors, a neutral foreman, and new Blueprint, God's Favor and Nero's Bonus cards. Gladiators also adds a fifth asymmetric character class - the Rudiarius, a retired gladiator who has earned his freedom. A veteran of the Colosseum, the Rudiarius can call in favours from his former masters to advance.
