Theme and gameplay

Each player becomes the owner of a coliseum in ancient Rome. Five plays must be performed for the audience in five rounds. To do this, the player has to bid for sets, props and actors on the market, expand his arena and win prominent people (senators or even the emperor himself) as spectators. Through the performances, the player receives income, which can then be invested in even more opulent plays. The winner is the one who organizes the most spectating event during the game.
