Arena: For the Gods! (2017)

About this game

Arena: For the Gods! has two phases. First, players use their life points to bid for the best equipment, mounts, and weapons. Second, they fight! When one player dies, the game ends, and whoever has the most life points left wins. All cards in the game have a mythological theme, featuring some of the most famous members of various cultures' myths and histories, such as Mjölnir, Osiris, and Quetzalcoatl.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
