Superhero Gladiators is a game about superheroes fighting in an arena. It is for two or more players, who must be old enough to do some subtraction. Each arena combat takes five to thirty minutes. Because Superhero Gladiators is free, fun, strategic, and quick to play it is an great way to test if you (or your kids) enjoy games involving combat with miniatures. Besides these rules, players need a token for each superhero, either a "battlemap" (we use Flip-Mats) or some hexagon paper, a pencil, two 20-sided dice, either index cards or copies of the character sheet below, and perhaps a calculator. Superhero Gladiators was inspired by the role-playing game named Champions. —description from the publisher
