ARENA COMBAT

Get ready to challenge your friends! Each
Gladiator Boy
book will contain a different trial. Collect them all to run your own Arena of Doomâeither at home or on the playground.

TRIAL 2

HAMMER AND SHIELD!

You will need three playersâan attacker, a defender, and a referee. This game is easy to play, but difficult to win! The attacking player decides whether he will strike from the left, the right, or straight ahead, and indicates by raising either his left fist, his right fist, or both fists together (as a straight attack).

The defending player must close his eyes and announce whether he is blocking left, right, or straight ahead. If he shouts “left” and the strike was to the left, he has blocked it! Otherwise, he takes a “hit.” The attack then passes to the opponent and the game continues.

Here are the hand signs:

LEFT OF THE PERSON

RIGHT OF THE PERSON

STRAIGHT AHEAD

The first player to win three of five games is declared the winner!

You can either play the game as yourself or, when you have collected all the books, you can take on the roles of the slaves and use their special character profiles to fire your imagination!

WEAPON PROFILE: THE HAMMER

The hammer has always been used as a tool for making an impact on a difficult surface or for driving in a nail. However, it was once used as a weapon and known variously as a “great-hammer” or “war-hammer.”

There are few versions of the weapon as the design was so simple. However, the handles of these hammers made them different from one another. Handles tended to be either long (great-hammer) or short (war-hammer). The hammers used in
Gladiator Boy
are great-hammers.
