Hoplomachus: Victorum

This game has quickly become one of my favourites, despite the time requirement to play it. Setup is easier than anticipated and the flow of game is quite simple. The strategy requirements to be successful are quite high, but so worth it for the payoff of success! Yet another amazing game from CTG.

Everything i could ask for in a solo with tons of replayability. I think its is too long for what it is though. This has been addressed in an expansion. I just wish that the shortened versions should have been included in the base game because the length hinders its replayability for me. Great game but a tad too long for multiple plays IMO.

This solo game is amazing! Wow! The rules, the mecanics, the chips are wonderfull. Chip Theory Games are very exceptionnel !

For me, Hoplomachus is Chip Theory's best game so far. The keywords are not as overwhelming as the others, the gameplay is simple and clean and the campaign is not overwhelming at all.

The best part of the game is the smaller, bite sized battles that allow me to play a session in under 30 minutes if I'm short on time. Levelling up your hero and building up your troop of specialized warriors is super satisfying.

The campaign did run a bit long but with the Mercury's Boots rule changes it's now a faster/tighter experience if you want it.

With the top notch production from Chip Theory, the short sessions and the easy to follow rules this has quickly become a top 5 game for me.
