When we enquired about the possibility of the manual being written in Latin or whether you had to fight to the death in order to be worthy of purchasing one, we got a worrying reply: "Yep, I'm getting my gladiator costume ready as we speak;".
Well at least they have a sense of humour about such a ridiculously named board. Just wondering what it will offer compared to other boards that will relieve it of the curse that is its name.

my name is maximus decimus meridius commander of the armies of the north, general of the felix legions loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
