If you're a fan of Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery and want to spice up your arena battles, the Spartacus: Acerbitas Promo Card is a must-have! This extra gladiator card introduces a legendary combatant who fought even before the heroes we know, adding another heavyweight to your roster. Acerbitas comes with a special power that can turn the tide of battle: he negates the opponent's Weapon Card when fighting him. This means that if you play with him, your adversaries will have to think twice before attacking, as their weapons might not have the intended effect. It's an addition that doesn't drastically alter the rules but adds an interesting tactical element and a touch of novelty for those who have already mastered the base game. Perfect for those looking to expand their gladiator options and inject a bit more unpredictability and strategy into their matches. With him in the arena, the fights become even more exciting and full of twists, honoring the bloody and treacherous spirit of Capua.
