hoplomachus board game buy
Hoplomachus [ha-ploh-ma-kuss], or "Hoplo" for short, is a hex-based tactical board game set inside a gladiatorial arena. One to three players, each representing an ancient city/civilization thought to have been lost to the world, are now on Rome's doorstep vying for a place in the prestigious arena games.
Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board & war games in this condition will show very little to no wear and are considered to be punched unless the condition note says unpunched.
I'm a psychotherapist by trade, practicing in CT. I play games to restore my life balance. I like thematic games with lots of narrative and story, usually cooperative but I love good thematic strategy games as well. As a game evangelist, I also like card games and anything else I can easily tote with me.
There are a glut of these kinds of tactical skirmish games on the market these days (Shadespire, X-Wing, Armada, Necromunda, Krosmaster, and so on) and even more coming soon (Hate, or just do a kickstarter search for another dozen titles). Is there really room for a pricey game like Hoplomachus that offers a familiar if not original game system? I suppose Games Workshop has gotten away with doing exactly that for years. I enjoy Hoplomachus as a way of teaching my son tactical positioning, but its a hard title to really recommend at its price point for just the pvp gameplay. As a two player game, Shadespire, despite its warts, does many of the same things better (if not more affordably). As a solo and co-op game though, Hoplomachus does earn its stripes and is definitely worthy of praise.
Thank you for checking review #106 by Cardboard Clash. My aim is to focus on reviewing board games and how they play for two people and, on occasion, how they play for one person. Because my wife is my primary gaming partner, a lot of consideration goes into finding those games that play well with 2 players, and we typically prefer to find those games that do not require a variant (official or otherwise) in order to play it with just the two of us.
The game is extremely simple in rules and execution. This is something you can teach in a few minutes and allow people to have fun chucking dice and deploying units on the mat. Combine that with the production value and table presence and, well, this is a game I want to show off. That means photos when playing solo, and I can only imagine how it could grab crowds at a convention or game day.

Make no mistake, there's something for everyone here; games for kids, games for the hard-core strategist, and even light party games. But they all involve having a great time with your friends and family while staying 'unplugged' for a while.
