## Description
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!
