Colossal Arena Views

General Goods

In Colossal Arena there is a group of eight creatures that are fighting. Each round, one of the creatures will die. To decide which unlucky soul will be the victim, players put numbered power cards in front of the creatures, with the lowest one going the way of the dodo. But what makes this game interesting at all is that players can make five bets throughout the game which will sometimes allow them to use a creature's special power and gives the game a method of scoring at the end.

The legend begins now! The Colossal Arena welcomes you to bask in its glory! Living the legend is the matter that is disputed here. Restraints are slain as the battle goes on! Only the mightiest of warriors will survive such a grueling quest. Are you one of them? Or are you ready to give it up and go home? This is the brawl to end them all! Another total remake of one of my failed stages (shown here at 3:07), this one is devoted to giving you a powerful, all-out brawl! The picture is, once again, widescreen, which It'm actually starting to really like the look of. Anyway, live your dreams and finish your enemies!

In this exciting game of gladiatorial mayhem, players place bets on the fantasy creatures they think will triumph. But beware, each creature is bestowed with unique skills, and ou must cleverly manage your combat cards while guiding your bets to maximum pay-off. Tension is high as one creature is eliminated every round. Will you favorite prevail? Or will your champion be defeated and your fortunes lost? Reiner Knizia's Colossal Arena is a reprint of the classic Titan: The Arena, formerly published by Avalon Hill game company. Colossal Arena features gorgeous new artwork and four brand new creatures (that were not included in the original version) making Colossal Arena a new and unique game experience.

First, a word of reassurance. Colossal Arena bills itself as the game of titanic battles, and the art on both the box and the cards would have you believe that the game is one of fantasy melee, a raucous brawl complete with unicorns and trolls, mages and demons. Yes, that is the ostensible theme. But you won't have to roll up a character or dust off your 30-sided die to play -- Colossal Arena is, despite the RPG trappings, a traditional card gambling game, albeit an exceptionally clever one.
