About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Ready to spice up your Spartacus game? Introducing Dolor, a promo card that adds a legendary gladiator to your roster. Even before the likes of Spartacus, Crixus, and Gannicus became household names in the sands of Capua, Dolor was already a force to be reckoned with in the arena. This card doesn't just bring a new fighter to your command; it also packs a special ability that can turn the tide of battle: when an opponent calculates their initiative, you can subtract 4 from their total! Imagine that – it can completely disrupt your adversary's plans and give you that crucial edge. It's a small addition, but it makes a significant difference in gameplay, adding another layer of strategy and unpredictability. If you're already enjoying the base Spartacus game and want more options to make the fights even bloodier and more exciting, this card is a must-have. It fits perfectly within the existing theme and mechanics, bringing an extra touch of rivalry and power. Ideal for those looking to expand the Spartacus universe with a character that has a backstory and a power that directly impacts combat. It's not a whole new game, but rather a delicious extra for fans who want to see the arena truly heat up!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Does this card replace an existing gladiator?
No, Dolor is an additional gladiator to add to your combat group, increasing your options.
Do I need the base Spartacus game to use this card?
Absolutely! This is a promotional card that expands the base game, so you need to own it to play with Dolor.
What is the average playtime with this expansion?
This card does not significantly alter the playtime of the base Spartacus, which is already around 150 minutes.
How many players can use this card?
The base Spartacus game is for 3-4 players, and this card fits within that player count, adding another gladiator to the fray.
Is Dolor's ability very strong?
The ability to subtract 4 from an opponent's initiative can be quite powerful at key moments, but it depends on the overall game strategy and the cards other players use.
Is this card hard to get?
As a promotional card, it might be a bit harder to find than the base game components, usually obtained through specific events or promotions.
Does this card add many new components?
