From page 3: The Roman Amphitheatre Trap, designed by Betty Kopf. “This trap is a rather obvious one, but it’s great for visual effects, and it will almost certainly be triggered due to the treasure it offers. The amphitheatre itself is dominated by a crouching statue that bears a huge golden globe upon its shoulders. The globe is roughly 5’ in diameter, weighs in the neighborhood of 5 tons, and is worth approximately 50,000 g.p. The amphitheatre’s floor is actually an enormous, finely-balanced lever. Whenever a weight is set upon the floor (such as a dungeon party), the lever will shift, causing the pole within the main amphitheatre structure to rise and dislodge the golden sphere. The ball will bounce down the steps and into the midst of the party.”

This is my Lego tribute to one of my favorite Grimtooth traps. Stay tuned to see what happens to our foolish hero.
