Gladiator is an Action card from Empires. It's a terminal silver that becomes a terminal gold if you can choose a card in your hand that your opponent can't match. It is a split pile card, with five copies of Gladiator sitting on top of five copies of Fortune; Gladiator can also trash other copies of Gladiator from the supply to help you get to Fortune faster.

Trivia
Preview
Gladiator has a cute interaction with the player to your left. If you manage to show a card they don't have, you get +, hooray, but you also eat a Gladiator from the pile. That way you are likely to eventually uncover Fortune.
Secret History
Some split piles were having trouble getting to the 2nd card often enough. For Fortune I made a card that specifically eats its half-pile. A single Gladiator purchase can do the trick. The card was inspired by Chariot Race, trying to be another way to do that kind of thing, since we liked Chariot Race.
