OPPIDUM - Skirmishes in the Age of the Gallic Wars

Ancient strategy game for 2 or more players.

​​​​OPPIDUM is an immersive ancient strategy game that plunges you into the heart of the great battles of the 1st century BC. ​

Relive the historic clash between Celtic tribes and Roman legions across present-day France, Belgium, and England, as Caesar extends his empire.

Choose your side and play as Gauls, Britons, Germans, or Romans. Lead bold landings against Celtic chariots, protect convoys in hostile territory, or launch an assault on the impressive fortifications of Alesia. Each game is a unique tactical challenge where your decisions make the difference.

With 16 scenarios of progressive difficulty, OPPIDUM offers an accessible entry point while ensuring a strategic depth that will appeal to experienced players. The detailed rules faithfully recreate man-to-man combat: Roman legionary formations, bow fire, spears, javelins, slings, and the use of the fearsome Roman scorpion.

Celtic and Roman fortifications, with their obstacles and defensive systems, can be stormed using a wide choice of siege equipment, further enhancing the realism and tension of engagements.

👉 OPPIDUM is the perfect blend of historical rigour, intense strategy, and gaming enjoyment, for epic and memorable sessions.
