Great H2H. Skirmish games aren't usually my thing, but I want to try this one.

You absolutely should. It really transcends being an arena fighter while doing a multitude of things to make it feel perfectly "Gladiator."

Yeah, this is a seriously tempting head to head on a game not on my radar at all. Great job.

Sad, it sounds interesting, but I despise any deck builder that requires shuffling your deck more than once a game (which means I despise most deck builders). But, this had completely passed under my radar, probably because "Carthage" sounds like some blocks-on-a-map wargame...

Everyone starts with the same basic 10 card deck, every new card purchase goes into your discard pile. So, yes, you will be shuffling roughly every two rounds (depending how many cards you purchase or how many cards you "focus" which is the ability to remove weaker cards from your deck). It does a good job of adding tension when someone buys a powerful card and you are wondering if they have access to it this round or not.
