Jugula : arena in a box finished
« on: December 17, 2014, 01:37:35 AM »
What are gladiators fights without an arena. An arena printed on a poster is provided with Jugula rules but I wanted a real one, easy to transport.

Many gamers have experienced arenas in a box...here is my version with a cardboard hat box (5€ only).



I cut the box and kept the lid to make a second arena in the same box (2 arenas for the price of one).






Some of the elements I'll use.



More next time.

I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

This is a neat project. I saw that game at Historicon, it looks promising.

Where did you source the statues?  Figures or travel trinkets?  Link?  They look pretty good for statues.

The statues are oop Kinder Surprise miniatures bought on Ebay. Search for "Kinder Metal Roman".

Here is a list of available figures :

You can also find the same kind of miniatures here (or on EBay) :

The arena is finished and I could already play on it.

Here are the finished arenas : the main box and the lid.















The tokens, the roman dice and the first player token :





It's really easy to transport even if the miniatures, cards and the rulebook need to be in an another box.

That has come out really well.
Good sourcing of 'bits' too.

I really like your arena. I had no interest in roman/gladiators gaming until yet, but seeing such evocative scenery  may change my mind !
