Based on the TV game-show, "Gladiators", this book combines elements of the show with the role-playing game book formula. Readers select options on how to tackle various challenges, scoring points depending on the outcomes of their selections. At the end of the book, having completed all the challenges, readers add up the points scored and work out their rating in the assessment section, to establish their potential as a Champion Gladiator. Then there's the opportunity to start again, working through the book choosing different sets of options.
