Blood on the Sands: Preorder läuft

Die Arena ruft und es gibt Modelle von Wargames Atlantic.

Blood on the Sands is a historically inspired skirmish game that immerses players in thrilling one-on-one gladiatorial combats. Players build and manage a stable of gladiators at their school, or ludus, battling for survival in the provincial arenas of ancient Rome. Blood on the Sands recreates the dynamic, back-and-forth ‚dance‘ of the gladiatorial duel, reflecting the balanced intricacies that the Romans infused into their deadly bloodsport. The mechanics produce thrilling, narrative combats that move across the arena, demanding tactics, skill, and a degree of luck from the players. Between games, players manage their stable across the course of a campaign. Each gladiator strives to be crowned champion and lead their ludus to victory—but most will fall, forgotten, like Blood on the Sands…

Every Core Box of Blood on the Sands will contain finely detailed hard-plastic, multi-part gladiator miniatures made by leading tabletop games manufacturer Wargames Atlantic!
