What is Champions of the Colosseum

In Champions of the Colosseum, each player acts as a lanista, or manager of a gladiatorial school, during Ancient Rome. As such, each lanista can buy, sell, or trade 34 different types of gladiators and beasts to fight in the arena.

Lanistas are able to place wagers on their fights, gain crowd favor, train gladiators, and create Champions in an effort to gain reputation. A lanista wins the game when his or her Champion wins a final battle in the Colosseum for all to see!

Each combatant has unique stats and abilities, which alter the random dice rolling of each gladiatorial battle.
