Title: Jugula : arena in a box finished
Post by: YIU 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.

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) :

Post by: YIU on January 10, 2015, 05:14:44 PM: 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.

Good sourcing of 'bits' too.

Title: Re: Jugula : arena in a box finished
Post by: YIU on January 10, 2015, 06:03:12 PM: Thanks to all of you. I am sure the same idea could be used for other games than gladiators arenas.

Hi Tobias ;)

Post by: Elbows on January 10, 2015, 09:30:48 PM: Very cool and very compact. I love the final result. :) My own "arena in a box" style project has stalled since I've lost touch with the laser-cut guy I was working with. I need to get back in touch and get finished!
