Expand the Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery board game with the Serpents and the Wolf expansion. Two new Houses are introduced to the gameplay to allow up to 6 players to play the game (previously up to 4) – Varinius, respected praetor and Seppius, the arrogant noble. This helping to further spice up the Intrigue phase, as Varinius imposes his will on noble houses that they themselves cannot afford to ignore if they want to try and gain influence within Rome itself. Whilst Seppius twists and meddles with others plots to his own scheming perverse agenda.
There are new Slaves that can be purchased for their new skills and talents to aid the house and fortunes of the Dominus. There are new weapons like the crippling Ball and Chain and armour for your Gladiators to learn and further develop their ruthless fighting techniques. As well as more lethal Gladiators to choose from, all of which will be needed in the Arena for the new brutal team combats taking place as part of Primus – the finale to the games. Each team will have 2 gladiators and you may even find yourself setting aside bitter rivalries to fight side by side against other teams. Although only temporarily as there can only be one victorious team!
As in the TV Series it’s not just other rival Gladiators to watch out for, teammates may even become treacherous if they see the opportunity arise to settle old scores. One in particular to watch out for, and no doubt fans of the TV series will have guessed, is Ashur. Now back to full health in this expansion and one of those scheming for revenge and won’t hesitate if he sees it! In the build up to the games as Dominus you will host lavish and exotic feasts. Watch out for mock combats and the depraved appetites of the noble elite, where both can easily get out of hand. However if you’re able to use them to your advantage they will further raise your influence and power within Rome itself!
