Arena

Description from the publisher:

Arena is a fast game reproducing gladiators’ combats. Nine different typologies of gladiator are available. Each gladiator plays with a deck of 15 cards, different for each typology. The combat is divided in turns. In each turn a gladiator plays with 3 action cards, using only 2 of them for trying to hit his adversary or escape from him.
The match is played on a hex grid.
It is possible to reproduce single combats, organize full days of competition and follow the career of the gladiators from the beginning to freedom (or death in the arena).
