For me, Hoplomachus is Chip Theory's best game so far. The keywords are not as overwhelming as the others, the gameplay is simple and clean and the campaign is not overwhelming at all.
The best part of the game is the smaller, bite sized battles that allow me to play a session in under 30 minutes if I'm short on time. Levelling up your hero and building up your troop of specialized warriors is super satisfying.
The campaign did run a bit long but with the Mercury's Boots rule changes it's now a faster/tighter experience if you want it.
With the top notch production from Chip Theory, the short sessions and the easy to follow rules this has quickly become a top 5 game for me.
