Step into the thrilling arena of Gorus Maximus, an exhilarating trick-taking card game where gladiators clash and cunning strategies prevail!

Prepare for a spectacular showdown as you recruit your mightiest gladiators and fiercest beasts to win over the roaring crowd. Each player begins with a hand of ten unique gladiator cards, each boasting individual strengths that can turn the tide of battle.

In every round, players contribute a gladiator to engage in a bout (or trick), strategizing their play to seize victory. The dynamic mechanics keep everyone on their toes, as the trump suit can shift mid-battle, reflecting the crowd's preferred school of gladiators. The strongest gladiator from this category will emerge victorious!

If no gladiator from the favored school joins the fight, the most powerful gladiator from the initiating school steps in to claim glory. Players must follow the initiating school's lead when possible; however, a clever 'challenge' move enables you to match the strength of the last gladiator played, instantly shifting the preferred school to your own gladiator's advantage!

As the battles rage on, race to recruit gladiators that earn positive crowd favor while skillfully avoiding those that could bring you negative acclaim. The stakes rise with each round, as gathering the highest crowd favor becomes crucial. The first player to amass three crowd support tokens will be crowned the Champion of Gorus Maximus, celebrated by the masses!

Whether engaging in head-to-head duels or teaming up for epic showdowns, every game of Gorus Maximus promises unforgettable excitement and a thrilling display of strategic gladiatorial combat!
