About this game

In Combat Arena, 2-4 players engage in high-speed gladiatorial combat set in the far future. Pick your champion from amongst Humanity's greatest warriors, and use their unique skills, strengths and strategies to defeat your opponents. Combat Arena is a fast-paced game, pitting variety of characters against each other in the violent training arenas aboard a Rogue Trader's personal spacecraft. Each of the fighters is taken from a different area of Imperial Society, and each has their own unique attacks and weapons. Whichever you choose, your object is simple: be the last warrior standing. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
