For Glory is the game of gladiatorial combat and deck building. Take on the role of a gladiator school owner, or lanista, in ancient Rome. The game utilizes a two-phase system for deck building and combat. During the Machinations Phase, recruit gladiators, secure the support of influential patrons, increase your income, and train gladiators in a multitude of tactics. When the crowd?s bloodlust becomes insatiable, the game shifts to the Arena Phase, during which you will control your gladiators in combat in various arenas.

Each gladiator has a unique set of stats and a unique ability. Having the right synergies between gladiators often means the difference between death and glory. During arena battles, you will also play tactic and reaction cards from your hand to support your gladiators or turn the tides of battle. The first player to gain six glory by winning arena battles is the victor, and will be remembered for all time as the greatest lanista of Rome.
