Salvēte,

Blood, Sweat and Cheers (published 2016, 2nd edition 2020) is a tactical, two-player, card and dice game from Ganesha Games, that recreates single combat between gladiators in the arenas of the Roman world from the mid-third century BC to the start of the fifth century AD. … Ten gladiator styles are represented.

Cards are used to abstractly represent the different options available to a player’s gladiator during the ebb and flow of a gladiatorial bout, while dice are used to resolve interactions. The watching crowd interacts with the gladiators in the arena by rewarding showy attacks and spilt blood with favourable cheering which may in turn be utilised to buoy up a gladiator’s performance.

Almost everything you need to play the game, including a basic area, is inluded in the deck. All players need to do is print the cards and rulebook and provide their own gladiators, dice, and a few wound tokens or markers.

Strength and Honor!
