  1. 4 out of 10

    Great art and production. I like the them and mechanics of this game in concept However there seem to be an issue with the exact value of some of the cards which tends to cause a stall out until the last 2-3 cards. Then it's just hoping you are in a good order to be the last person to challenge a card. This is due to the value of the 9, there being a -4 from the 8 and 10+ cards which can win the 9. This setup leads to everyone waiting to play the 9 until the end to be sure to dodge the 8s and 10-12 as long as possible

    I LOVE euchre so this game is right up my alley, but it's not for everyone. The art is very cute, the card quality is amazing. I've never played with plastic cards and it's very interesting! It's quick and easy to learn if you've played trick taking games before. It's not entirely original or the absolute most engaging, but it's fun for a quick game!

    Picked this up at PAX Unplugged 2018 in Philadelphia. Have played a few games with my wife. She seems to enjoy it (2/4)

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!
