About the Game

from the Designer: "These were the words that signaled the beginning of the violent spectacle known as the “games’. Held in arenas all over the Roman Empire, these bloody combats offered the gladiators fame, fortune, and the chance for freedom. But while these benefits were attained by a fortunate few nothing short of a quick death awaited most.

And now with Red Sand, Blue Sky, you can recreate the excitement of these combats that for thousands of participants was anything but a game.

Whether you seek fame as a solitary gladiator or operate a gladiator school with many fighters the choice is yours. With RSBS you can play either solo or with others and with any figures you may already have. RSBS provides big fun for a small price. Hmmm, big fun..small price? What a concept!"

Roman gladiatorial combat with miniatures that can be played solo or with lots of players.
