Tappelu: The Ultimate Gladiator Manager

Tappelu is a free gladiator-manager game for your browser. You run a team of fighters, sign and equip them, set your tactics, and watch the game fight it out on a hex board, one match a day. Every match is a full replay you can watch move by move. Can be played on the browser or installed as an app on your phone or PC.

Seasons last a month

• Simulated 5-on-5 matches through a 22-round regular season, best-of-3 playoffs and a cup tournament.
• Full replays and statistics for every match.
• Leaderboards by league and season, and an all-time hall of legends.

Build your team

• Set tactics that influence your fighters' decisions.
• Train your fighters and level them up. Fighters age, retire, and sometimes get injured or die. Death is permanent.
• Equip your fighters with better weapons, armor and spell books, and sell what you don't need on the item exchange.
• Run your arena and try to make your team popular with the crowds. Build upgrades, adjust ticket prices, and provide entertainment
• Sign sponsors who pay you for playing the way they like to see it. Some sponsors reward wins, others a packed home crowd, and some might want you to field as many goblins as possible.

Compete against other managers

• Bid for free agents against other teams, under a salary cap and roster limit
• Trade fighters and money with other managers
• Bet on tomorrow's matches for extra income
• Challenge another manager to a live exhibition and control your fighters yourself, while other teams spectate

The game is free to play with no ads, analytics, or downloads. Available in English and Finnish.
