Wonderful news! In January, I bought back my gladiators after their 7 years exile overseas with another Lanista. At the same time, out came the old copy of Blood on the Sands. Still a fine game!

But, if there are rules to be tested, consider me a willing volunteer. I still have my homemade dice and counters somewhere...

Hope this pans out. The best gladiator game I've ever played.

I'm so flattered that BotS still holds some people's interest.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but I am working on BotS again at the moment. I do feel the rules have aged somewhat and I'm trying to bring them in line with more modern rulesets.

I may ask for playtesters if anyone is interested when I have something worth testing.

Again thanks all.

Wonderful news, I never believed in this. Hope you will release it in 2022.

Plus its an ace game

Sounds good Frank, put us down for playtesting again please

Very happy to playtest when it is ready.

Mt regualr opponent and I both really like the idea of gladiator games but are yet to find one that hits the spot. From what I see on this thread BotS might just be the one.

Loved playing it in its early playtest days and would love to be involved again. It was and still is a terrific game. Glad to see it coming back!

I can't 100% commit to helping with playtesting right now, but when its ready im willing to help if i can - aa few of us at our local club recently got Sons of Mars, and enjoyed it, but it has a few niggles and sounds like its not being worked on, so if another game can fill its spot...

I'm willing to chuck in my two penny-worth for play testing.
I need a fun/good Gladiatorial game for the School club.

Again, all this support is comforting.

Some great memories there for sure, even for me, and I wasn't even there!

@Frank, my game group is definitely up for playtesting. Some interesting cupro-nickel miniatures came in that need a good bashing.

Any time frame you can give for the playtesting?
