Days of Wonder announces newest board game - Colosseum!
The Emperor Titus has called for the greatest celebration in Rome's history to commemorate the opening of the Colosseum - 100 days of the grandest spectacles the empire has ever seen. Citizens have flocked to the city by the thousands - enthralled by the sight of hundreds of gladiators in battle... rare and exotic animals prowling the arena floor... and to hear and see the greatest musicians and entertainers ever assembled.
As Rome's most famous impresario, you have been chosen to produce the closing finale. Titus himself has taken his seat in the Emperor's Loge. At the drop of his hand, the final spectacle will begin. Your moment in the sun has come...
Introducing Colosseum - our newest board game designed by acclaimed German game designer Wolfgang Kramer and Markus Lübke.
Set in imperial Rome, each player In Colosseum is a Roman impresario - producing great spectacles in their respective arenas in the hopes of attracting the most spectators to their events. Players earn wealth and glory for each event run, using it to build ever more ambitious events. During the game they will need to invest in improving their arena, find the best performers, lure the Emperor and his nobles to their events, and manage their assets for long-term success to be granted the title of Grand Impresario.
Colosseum is expected to be available in Europe in March and in North America in April. Read More...

Jordon Trombetta wins Ticket to Ride US National Championship at Gencon
Congratulations to Jordon Trombetta who successfully navigated through three rounds of play to win the Ticket to Ride National Championship held at Gencon in Indianapolis on August 20th and 21st.
Jordan triumphed over fellow finalists Peter Rabinowitz, Sam Atabaki and Chris Prysock - all of whom had previously won regional qualifying tournaments held at Ubercon, Kublacon and Origins.
The final match turned into a brutal game of blocking as Jordan, Sam and Chris all fought to develop long routes in the northern section of the board. Chris took the brunt of the blocking maneuvers as he was unable to complete several long routes. Jordon was finally able to construct a circuitous route to Portland, completing his Destination Tickets and ending the game.
Final Scores:
Jordon Trombetta - 129
Peter Rabinowitz - 82
Sam Atabaki - 77
Chris Prysock - 28
Also congratulations to all the players who qualified for the tournament semi-final round:
Chris Prysock, Peter Rabinowitz, Sam Atabaki, Stephen Egolf, Jordon Trombetta, Randy Pletzer, Devin McCullen, David Beery, Jerry Butt, Chris Akers, Sarah Davis, Phil Foster
