Description
Hoplomachus: Legends of the Sand is an exciting expansion to the Hoplomachus series, where 1 to 4 players dive into the world of gladiatorial combat, each representing an ancient city with a champion to protect and a crowd to impress. The goal is simple: eliminate your opponent's champion, but getting there is a complex web of strategy and tactics. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, this game is perfect for a quick yet intense battle of wits, and its normal complexity makes it accessible to anyone familiar with board games. As you play, you'll draw, play, and move gladiators from your hand, using tactic chips to outmaneuver your opponents and gain the crowd's favor. The Legends of the Sand expansion introduces 15 new chips, featuring gladiators and tactics for each of the 5 cities in the Hoplomachus universe, allowing for a customizable experience before each battle. With a mix of combat, tactics, and chip management, Hoplomachus: Legends of the Sand offers endless possibilities for strategic play, whether you're defending your champion, assaulting your opponent's, or fighting beasts to win over the crowd. Published in 2013 by designers Josh J. Carlson and Adam Carlson, this expansion is a must-have for fans of the series and newcomers alike, offering a fresh and exciting take on the world of Hoplomachus.
