Hoplomachus: Remastered - How To Play

[@hithemjudeh6571]

You are my go to when I want to learn a new game. Very informative and clear. Keep up the great work Rodney!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say Hithem!

Not only did you do a great job with the tutorial, but you also did a good job displaying the included trays, etc. when you set-up the game. At least Chip Theory Games knows how to include good inserts in the game box so that set-up is easy and everything has a place in the game box once you clear up. I wish other board game companies followed suit since plastic inserts can get in the way of stuff like sleeved cards, etc. I hope CTG follows up with a bag building game like the original Puzzle Strike set in the Hoplomachus universe where you complete against another person and each player starts with 10 normal chips, which give you buying power to buy units from a netural market, tactics that can be played while in your hand, etc. and the goal would be to kill your opponent's hero to win. Or, they could make their own bag building game with the chips set their such nice quantily, and I think they would last a long time despite how many times the chips get stacked in the bag to shuffle them while you draw them from the bag.

I'd like to see some more games like Puzzle Strike too - thanks for checking out this video Daniel!

"How long have you been watching KZbin videos?" Well, I've been watching long enough that they're reprinting a bunch of board games I watched either Rodney or Ricky Royal cover via tutorials and/or playthroughs way back when.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're a veteran watcher!

[@scottsmartky]

@@WatchItPlayed Wasn't there for the first couple of videos, but I've been here ever since then. It has been a great time.

[@mvpcandidate23]

Without question, you are the best at what you do. Thanks!

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's too kind of you to say - glad you enjoyed!

[@henriwhitehead]

Great video! The game looks fantastic, and I’ve heard it is a great solo experience.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, nice to see they included solo play, despite also creating a solo version in Victorum.

[@wallyiam1]

Another brilliantly explained video!...Thanks Rodney.👍

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly!

[@elzheiz]

Finally, a CTG game on the channel! Maybe a 20 Strong or Elder Scrolls video when it comes out? ;)

[@WatchItPlayed]

We'll see!

[@pogdog69]

So excited for this to arrive, thanks for the teach Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome Evan - have a great time playing!

[@Hardcorestilllives]

Best Publisher, best Skirmisher

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you've enjoyed this one!

[@spaztekwarrior]

Thanks, Rodney. This looks great. 🇨🇦 Another must buy for me ! Also Makes me want to watch the Spartacus series once again. :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

I never watched, but certainly on theme!

[@dannyverbraeken3829]

As always, very clear explanation ! Thanks Rodney ! Just have to wait until the game arrives 🙂

[@WatchItPlayed]

Here's hoping you don't have to wait too long!

[@beakerkell]

Fantastic teach! Thank you, sir!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - have fun playing!

[@teejleague3838]

Wonderful teach, Rodney! :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly Teej!

[@SergioGVasco]

The video and explanation were so good that i wish you could do the same for Victorum! Great work, thank you for sharing! Take care out there

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very nice to know you enjoyed!

[@David-cz7mm]

Best rules explanation as always 🥳👍🏽🤩

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly!

Supporting a local (to me) crew like Chip Theory Games is a no-brainer; finding a CTG that resonated with my tastes... that's a bit trickier. I *wanted* to love my Too Many Bones Undertow stuff, but just couldn't gel with it. I've been intrigued by Hoplo for quite a long time but didn't take the plunge. Victorum didn't feel like a fit either. When I saw what Remastered was about, I finally jumped into the CTG pool again. Thanks for another super helpful video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you enjoy it if you give it a try Brian, this is one I enjoyed my time with and I hope you do too!

[@browe]

@@WatchItPlayed Thanks much, Rodney--looking forward to it!

[@DinosArgas-vg8bh]

The inspire ability does it apply on special skills?For example can i use inspire with longshot?

[@WatchItPlayed]

While I do my best to answer all questions in my videos, I avoid going into individual card effects and effect interactions as that’s a level of detail beyond what I can remember across all the different games I’ve covered. That said, you will often find success checking BoardGameGeeks rules forum for the game, or possibly a publisher FAQ. Sorry I couldn’t assist further, but hope you find your answer.

[@bazzkrycek7982]

Rodney you are just too dam awesome, another amazing video :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say Bazz, very glad you enjoyed!

[@ABlackfyre1]

Thanks!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - thanks for the kind support!

[@virtuallytrash]

Where can I buy it

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hard for me to answer - not sure what options you'd have for where you live. It was kickstarted and is delivering soon, but will also be available to buy from Chip Theory Games directly, I'm sure.

[@adrianbkelly]

Still waiting for the Kickstarter to deliver, but it’s up for pre-order on their website.

[@penoyer79]

pre order from their website... should start shipping soon. just waiting on backer fulfillment world wide.

[@FrankMinogue]

looks like an amazing gam. I’m not finding it, so I guess I missed the kickstarter. Oh well. I don’t know if Therese will like it anyway…..😢😢😢

[@WatchItPlayed]

It will be releasing to retail soon!

[@FrankMinogue]

@@WatchItPlayed I will watch for it! It looks like a good time 🙂

[@Nddiejebnduc]

Will you upload Hoplomachus Victorum as well...? Won't you...? Pls...... T_T

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@picklebuckeye]

Hoplooooooo!!

Poor Pluto, so maligned. #PlutoDidNothingWrong

Ah, a Pluto apologist, I see!
