April Update

New Area - Colosseum!

There's no more fitting location for a mortal struggle than an ancient Colosseum where gladiators battled to the death!

New Game - Knife Strike

A delicate game of seeing how many times you can strike between your fingers with a knife before the time runs out. Bid on how many times you think you can strike but if the next player calls your bid you better be ready to perform. Callers beware, if you call a player and they are successful you will be eliminated instead. It's a high stakes game down to the last player.

New Game Master - Dominus!

The Colosseum and Knife Strike game are overseen by the game master, Dominus! This gladiator has a peerless record in the arena and is very efficient in administering the game rules. He's so quick you'll barely feel a thing...better to win and not find out.

We've been extremely hard at work over the past weeks. For those of you interested in the fine details, a list of fixes and improvements is included at the bottom of this announcement.

More to come and thanks for playing!
