Hoplomachus - Part 1 - Lost Cities
10Hoplomachus is a great game of Gladiatorial Battles, I have a look at "Lost Cities" the first game in the series. Another product from Chip Theory Games.
From sealed box to first game in about 5 minutes- errors were made:
I forgot a few rules, namely locking the Beasts at first contact with an enemy- which also locks the engaged Warrior, neglecting to add "Crowd favor" and also seemingly not wanting to move the "Big Scary Lion". But hopefully its still enough of a decent look to work out if its a game you would enjoy. I know I had fun and I'm bound to have messed up in a few places which I didn't catch in editing.
For some reason my audio and video have a slight time offset, think my excitement overwhelmed my phones ability to record the final section. It seems to get worse the further into the video you go, starting to drift around 11 minutes in.
