Get ready to travel back in time and relive the glory of Rome in Colosseum: Ave Titus! This brand-new game, with a familiar feel, is a passionate reimagining of the classic Colosseum, bringing back the original designers along with Jonny Pac.

Ian O'Toole's incredible artwork transports you straight to 80 AD Rome, under the reign of Emperor Titus. Remember that epic event that inaugurated the Colosseum with 100 days of games and spectacles? Well, now you are the great impresario behind it all!

As a master showman, your challenge is to orchestrate the best and most glorious shows the Colosseum has ever seen.

With mechanics like worker placement (and with different types of workers!), set collection, and contracts to fulfill, each game promises to be unique thanks to the variable setup. It's a chance to demonstrate the emperor's power, wealth, and generosity through top-tier entertainment, marking your name in the Colosseum's history. Can you create the most memorable spectacle of all time?
