Awesome trick taker where you don't want to win the dreaded negative points cards. I really enjoy the fact there is a trump suit and lead suit and the gameplay opportunities that come from changing the trump mid trick

Art and production really makes this game better then what it really is. There is some strategy in the game although you are tied to your hand so having low cards usually means getting no points. I like how the cards have different values for scoring so winning a trick doesn't necessarily get you points. Rules on when you can play a card got confusing and the game is longer than what it should be. There are many choices in the game that you don't get to make because you have to follow the preferred school so I feel like I'm just tossing cards away. I rather play UNO than this.

Favorite trick taking game. Euchre on steroids where you can change the trump. Easy to learn and great fun solo through 8 players.

Gorus Maximus is a bloody trick-taking game of gladiatorial combat in which the trump suit can change mid-trick! The game can be played “player vs. player” or in teams.

Dispatch your strongest gladiators and most ferocious beasts to earn crowd favor! Match the rank of the last gladiator played, and the trump suit changes immediately!

Players are dealt a hand of ten gladiator cards and must contribute one gladiator to each bout (trick). There is a preferred school (trump suit) and the strongest gladiator from this school wins the bout. If no preferred gladiator entered the fight, then the strongest initiating gladiator (suit called for) wins. Players must follow the initiating school if possible, or they may “challenge” by matching the strength of the last gladiator played, immediately changing the preferred school to that of their gladiator!

Players compete to collect gladiators with positive crowd favor and avoid those with negative favor. The player with the highest favor at the end of the round earns 1 crowd support. The first player to earn 3 crowd support has won the support of the masses and earns the title: Champion of Gorus Maximus!
