The Gladiator (store)

The Gladiator is the name of a hobby shop located at the Galleria degli Popoli in Milan, Italy in a timeline where the Soviet Union won the Cold War and the entire world became Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist by the end of the twenty-first century. Crosstime Traffic used The Gladiator to try to infiltrate ideas of capitalism into this world. Similar shops were set up in San Marino and Rome.

In addition to selling games such as "Rails across Europe," The Gladiator sold books relating to the various board and role-playing games they sold. They also hosted tournaments in the back room. One of the clerks at The Gladiator was Eduardo, who was also an agent for Crosstime Traffic.

Gianfranco Mazzilli, a sixteen year old high school student at Enver Hoxha High School spent much of his free time at The Gladiator playing "Rails across Europe."
