This solo, two player cooperative and two to four player competitive game collects and combines the very best gameplay content from Hoplomachus: The Lost Cities and Hoplomachus: Rise of Rome, as well as several of their expansions.
Hoplomachus: Remastered includes everything that originally made the franchise a hit, with its ease of play, multiple combat modes and subtle variations between factions. We’re giving the line a huge production update to make it the kind of game we at Chip Theory have wanted it to be from the beginning. Featuring new original art, more attractive graphic design, streamlined rules, and component compatibility with Victorum, Hoplomachus will now embody the Chip Theory Games premium experience in every sense of the word.
Though both Victorum and Remastered are standalone titles, their gladiator and tactics chips are cross-compatible between both games, allowing players to mix and match chips for even more gameplay options!

In addition to some obviously-better-than-the-OG graphic sensibilities, Hoplomachus: Remastered retooled some of the rules of the game in ways that make play more intuitive and practical (e.g. the benefit to rival when you hit payoff on the favor track first). Still a lot of keywords to digest (that’s just in CTG’s DNA), but Hoplomachus remains the publisher’s most accessible title to date and ranks among the best of two-player tactical brawls.

Not sure WHY it is taking so long for my game distributor to get me this game? It is already out in retail (well, at least for sell by Chip Theory Games directly).

I really like the quick battles this brings. Will play sporadically with friends and Family. Mainly got it to augment Victorum.
