Rome & Roll: Gladiators

Players sponsor public games while Rome rebuilds, constructing ludi to train gladiators and arenas for practice. Gladiators are recruited, assigned to schools, and then sent to the Colosseum to fight using gladiator dice, generating crowd approval and in-game rewards. The expansion adds a Colosseum sideboard, new shared advisors, a neutral foreman, and new blueprints, God's Favour, and Nero's Bonus cards to alter strategy and scoring. It also introduces a fifth asymmetric character class, the Rudiarius, a retired gladiator who leverages past connections to call in favors and gain unique advantages.
