RUDIS: Via Sanguinea ad Summum
"The arena does not forgive mistakes. The gods do not favor the weak."
RUDIS is a high-stakes strategic board game for 2-4 players set in the brutal world of Roman gladiator schools. As a Lanista, your goal is to manage your budget, recruit the best fighters, and navigate a treacherous board filled with rival interests and divine intervention.
Why Play RUDIS?
Deep Management: Start with 100 Aureus and build your team through a tense auction phase. Every coin spent on a fighter is a coin not spent on life-saving armor.
Tactical Movement: Travel through four distinct sectors. Will you play it safe in your own territory or risk entering a rival's Ludus to snatch a powerful Gold or Silver artifact?
Vis Divina: Unlock the "Power of the Gods." Collecting full sets of equipment grants permanent superpowers that can shatter your opponent's defense.
Psychological Combat: Our unique Secret Strike & Parry system means you must outthink your opponent. One wrong move leads to a Mirror Strike, where your own strength is turned against you.
The Ritual of Mercy: Interaction doesn't end with a blow. When a gladiator is at death's door, the crowd (the other players) decides their fate. Do they live to fight another day, or do they die in the sand?
Game Components Included in this Digital Version:
4 Unique Gladiator Classes (Samnite, Thraex, Murmillo, Retiarius).
Full Equipment Deck (Standard, Silver, and Gold sets).
Temple Superpower & Life Cards.
The Grand Tournament 8-man Bracket.
Do you have what it takes to earn the Rudis and claim your freedom?
