About the game
Hey there, gamers! Ready for another epic round in the Hoplomachus universe? The 'Pandora's Might' expansion arrives to add that extra spice, bridging the experiences of Victorum and Remastered. If you're a fan of the Remastered heroes, you'll be thrilled because they now get their own prowess decks, becoming fully functional for any situation, whether as a primus or a hero. But the real star here is Pandora herself! She leads this crew, but beware: her powers are… let's say, unique. Using Pandora is at your own peril! She gives you the chance to acquire almost any prowess in the game, but the price can be steep, with an onslaught of evil influences and their scions closing in. It's a delicate balance between power and punishment. And for those playing Hoplomachus Remastered, Pandora can even be recruited or drafted in some modes. This expansion promises unprecedented challenges and twists worthy of a Pandora's Box, maintaining the action and strategy we love in the series.
