The short game duration time allows for numerous engagements in an afternoon or evening of play. Generally speaking, the 15-30 minute playing time indicated on the box appears valid.

I have had games ranging in duration from two minutes (Yes, I lost and am still trying to rationalize what happened!) to an awesome duel between two massively armored heavy gladiators that lasted nearly two hours. Its low unit count (normally one man per player) allows for a wealth of simulation detail without the normal penalty of in- convenient game length. Perhaps part of the reason for GLADIATOR's success is its uniqueness in several areas. The game, originally released by Battleline, apparently underwent extensive revision and received the usual Avalon Hill upgrading of components.

I have never known a game to attract such quantities of players from so many other varied subject, scale and period interests. Springsteen GLADIATOR, one of Avalon Hill's most recent game releases, can only be described as a gaming phenomenon. GLADIATOR: The Subject, the Game, & Expansion of the Arena By: Thomas C.
