The year is AD 79. Seers have learned of the imminent eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and those versed in the mystic arts have made invocations to stop the calamity from claiming thousands of lives. However, these actions have angered Pluto, god of the underworld, who vows to usher in even greater destruction unless the earth’s strongest champions accomplish a series of tasks in a realm of grueling combat.

Hoplomachus: Victorum is a standalone title from Chip Theory Games. It uses CTG's acclaimed combat system from the Hoplomachus games, adding new twists with a focus on heroes and campaign play. Victorum is a solo-only experience, offering an in-depth, rewarding adventure with deep strategic decisions and exciting combat. Set in the more epic and mythical world of Hoplomachus: Victorum, this edition will pair the combat mechanisms fans know and love with beautiful updated lore, art and design.

Solo Gaming Masterpiece!

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.

Hoplomachus: Victorum

Great solo game

Before buying Hoplomachus victorum, I have seen lot of solo games and I can tell that this one was better that all others. Good material hard chip good quality mat and so great game play. A must for all gamers.

Great solo game

Fantastic game with a good amount of tactics and strategy, have played it a bunch and can't recommend it enough

Spoil yourself :)

The quality of everything... If your research lands you on a fence because of the price, know that this is designed specifically for the luxurious enjoyment of one person.
I suspect Hoplo Remastered to be a better starting point for most people, but if you are looking to spoil just yourself or a loved one this is it.
It is also worth noting the friendly discord community where rules questions are often answered within minutes.

Kelp: fun but a bit lopsided

My partner and I have played this a couple times from both roles and while it’s fun, it definitely feels like the odds are stacked perhaps a little too heavily against the shark. Because of this, it can be tough to convince people to play as it sort of feels like you already know who is going to win by which character you get. That said, I will still continue to play it for the challenge of trying to win with the shark…it will likely just not feature very heavily in my two player game rotation.

Tous ceux avec qui j'ai joué l'ont adoré!

Pour moi j'ai acheté les boitiers rouge et violet afin de jouer avec plus de personnes et ensuite j'ai acheté le coffret Deluxe pour l'offrir en cadeau.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
