Nocturnal Media NCMQR1 Gladiator-Quest for the Rudis

Gladiator: Quest for the Rudis places you on the sandy floor of the arena, in the role of a slave gladiator with deadly attacks and deft defenses at your disposal. Play as a light gladiator, protected only by cloth padding and a piece of leather, but with maneuverability to strike at an unprotected flank or back; or don the manica, ocrea and helmet of the heavy gladiator, wearing metal armor and carrying a large rectangular shield, a 22-pound scutum, making you a stalking, nearly impregnable, death dealer. Grimace as the curved blade of your nent's sica slashes the chest of your mighty murmillo after the defense that you selected fails to avoid the attack selected by your nent! You choose the attacks, select your defense and counters as you control one of the sixteen individually rated gladiators in the game. Will you cl the rudis and your freedom or be doomed to die before the crowds of Rome?. Gladiator: Quest for the Rudis is a level combat card game based on the blood sport that reached its peak of popularity between 75 BC and 63 BC. Gladiators were mostly condemned slaves sentenced to train, and eventually die, in the arena for the entertainment of the Romans. However, Roman citizens and even Roman emperors opted to fight as "gladiators," be it for gold or glory. But it was only those slaves whose es were to live life as gladiators who quested for the rudis. The rudis was nothing more than a symbolic wooden , and yet it represented the ultimate prize to a slave-gladiator. To be awarded the rudis meant fame and possibly fortune, but most of all it meant freedom. The exclusive destination for developing your children's originality and individuality.
