Gorus Maximus

Players field gladiators and beasts to win bouts and gain crowd favor in a trick-taking gladiator combat game. Each round players are dealt hands and contribute one gladiator card to each bout; there is a preferred school (trump) and the strongest gladiator from that school wins the trick. If no trump appears, the strongest initiating gladiator (the suit led) takes the bout. Players must follow the initiating school when possible, but may instead “challenge” by matching the rank of the last gladiator played, which immediately changes the preferred school to the challenger’s suit. Collected gladiators carry positive or negative crowd favor; the player with the most favor scores crowd support, and the first to reach the required support wins.
