Description Edit | History

In Colosseum each player is a Roman impresario - producing great spectacles in his or her arena in the hopes of attracting the most spectators. Players earn wealth and glory for each event run, using it to create ever more ambitious events. They will need to improve their arena, find the best performers, lure the Emperor and his nobles, and manage assets for long-term success to be granted the title of Grand Impresario.

Colosseum includes: a large game board representing arenas in cities across the Roman Empire where events are produced; 5 arenas; 10 arena expansions; 6 unique painted resin pawns representing the Emperor, Consuls and Senators; 5 Emperor's loges; 10 Season Tickets; 2 Roman dice; 90 Roman coins; 30 Event programs; 152 Event asset tokens; 7 Star Performer Awards; 18 Emperor Medals; 6 Event Summary sheets; 1 Storage bag; and a detailed Rules booklet.

Colosseum plays with 3 to 5 players, Ages 10 and up, and takes approximately 60 - 90 minutes.

4 Really Big Shows
With the advanced auction variant, we found that many players had more tiles tham they could use. These shows can put those extra tiles to use, and give a new value to lion collections.

6 Six player expansion for Colosseum
An extra Colosseum for the "gray" player, and two more small shows. Put the sixth player in the Corner in the 4-wides space between starting positions, and each following one two beyond the next starting position. Each plaer gets four assets at start. Five choices of assets works fine. You need an gray scoring marker. Good luck
