Colosseum
Colosseum
Entertain the Roman populace with grand spectacles with gladiators, poets, and wild beasts in the award-winning Colosseum.
$85.00
Colosseum puts you in the role of an event planner in ancient Rome, vying for the favouritism of the crowds, the senators, and even the emperor himself.
Players aim to draw the biggest crowd by putting on the greatest spectacle – but with a great event comes a large cast and numerous props: gladiators, lions, ships, poets, torches, and so on – and they don’t come cheap.
Played in five rounds, Colosseum features a bidding mechanic and high quality components, with a thorough coating of theme mixed in.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do – and give Colosseum the thumbs up!
