I like the Spartacus series on Starz and when I first saw the game I thought they were just trying to cash in on the semi-success of that series. After doing some research into it after seeing it and playing it, I am glad that's not what they did. They put an intriguing political, backstabbing game around the spectacle of the arena with all 4 players betting on different outcomes of fights and lots of dice rolling. It's a quirky mix but I think it melds it all together well and gives a good sense of environment with the theme.↧
