Gladius

Players take the role of Roman spectators who bet on gladiatorial matches and manipulate outcomes to profit. Each round, players place wagers, play cards or use abilities to support or sabotage teams, and adjust the odds as battles resolve. The game centers on bluffing, timing, and resource management as players try to influence results and cash out at the right moment while competing against others for the highest return.
