Nice review for a really good tactical game. And your Ludus, seen in your blog, looks great !

In your review, you mention Vox Populi counters, are they components of the game? There was a game mooted some time back for a rule set caled VP.

The game does not provide counters. We tracked our Vox Populi score with a D10 but I have seen innovative ways like placing audience in a gallery, the amount of pawns or figures indicating your Vox Populi score.

Sounds like a really good game. I am looking for a new gladiator system to play. I just may have to look into this one. Have 8 gladiators in my painting line up right now too.
