Sabin Games
Games designed by Philip Sabin, or designed in collaboration with him or by students on his course. Philip Sabin is Professor of Strategic Studies at King's College London, and has produced a series of playable and insightful games with an emphasis on simulation of warfare in the Mediterranean Classical period, some of which we are privileged to be able to offer for sale here.

Gladiolus£30This game of classical single combat is for two players who each have either a gladiator or a wild animal. Play is challenging and entirely without dice, relying upon a player’s ability to outmanoeuvre and bluff his opponent. Games are fast, with a typical combat taking 10-15 minutes and an entire multi-combat tournament can be conducted in an evening. In our hearts, who is not, in some way, Spartacus? This luxury remake of the Society’s most successful board game includes sturdy, pre-cut counters and no fewer than 140 ready-to-go cards – no cutting and pasting required. Suitable for ages 12 upwards.
