Hoplomachus: Victorum

About this board game

Hoplomachus: Victorum is a solo-only board game for one player with a listed play time of 90 minutes. Set in AD 79, it combines grueling combat, campaign play, and an epic mythical setting shaped by the threat of Mount Vesuvius.

Seers have foreseen the volcano’s imminent eruption, while those versed in the mystic arts have tried to prevent a calamity that could claim thousands of lives. Their invocations anger Pluto, god of the underworld, who promises even greater destruction unless the earth’s strongest champions complete a series of demanding tasks.

As a standalone title from Chip Theory Games, Victorum uses the acclaimed combat system from the Hoplomachus games while introducing new twists and a stronger focus on heroes and campaign play. The result is an in-depth solo experience built around meaningful decisions and exciting battles.

The game pairs familiar Hoplomachus combat mechanisms with an updated presentation, including refreshed lore, art, and design. Its more epic and mythical world gives each challenge a dramatic context as champions strive to satisfy the demands placed upon them.
