Spartacus: The Serpents and the Wolf Expansion Set

This expansion adds two new noble Houses with distinct Intrigues that alter how players influence and manipulate the political landscape. New Scheme and Reaction cards increase opportunities for plotting, alliances, and sudden betrayals among the Houses. New Slaves, weapons, armor, and Gladiators expand recruiting and combat options, giving Dominus more tactical choices when equipping and training their fighters. The Primus introduces team combat in the arena: two-versus-two bouts that force coordination, create dynamic matchups, and allow for opportunistic betrayals as teammates may turn on each other mid-fight. Components focus on added variety for deck-driven scheming and arena warfare rather than rule overhauls.
