## What is Vice Verba?

Vice Verba helps students of Latin master verb forms. Players parse verbs and produce forms to earn togas. When enough togas are collected, an ‘imago’ of a famous dead Roman is unlocked. Collect all XII ‘imagines’, and don’t forget to flip the ‘imagines’ over to see their stats! Players can customize the game by choosing tenses, voices, and moods, and the presence or absence of macrons. The game increases in difficulty as the player’s skills improve.

Vice Verba was inspired by the ‘Hoplite Challenge Cup’, a non-digital game created by Drs. Hardy Hansen and Gerald Quinn for the intensive Greek program at CUNY. Thanks to Dr. Hansen for his encouragement and advice at the earliest stages of development. Thanks also to the University of Winnipeg for its generous financial support.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2025-01-07*

Boring

### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful and fun!

*2024-10-19*

I could play this all day. This game is fun and great for practicing verb conjugations in Latin. I also enjoy the images. I very much wish it had noun inflections as well, then I would be a real expert at Latin!

### 5/5 — Game to hard

*2024-04-05*

Make easier pls

### 5/5 — amazing

*2024-02-29*

This app is fantastic and the little character cards you collect are a fun (and hilarious) incentive. I only wish there were participles!

### 4/5 — Great app, with some room to grow

*2020-09-27*

Cool app! Attractive, easy to use, and it fulfills its purpose well. As a teacher, I would love for there to be a toggle for students to see what the correct answer was, rather than just seeing which parts of their answer were correct or incorrect.

### 5/5 — Id amo

*2019-10-10, version 3.0.1*

This is a wonderful app for practising conjugation on the run. Would love to see something like this for French.

### 5/5 — Fun and effective study app!

*2018-05-03*

Great app, very polished and useful. I only wish it had more verbs to choose from and a noun format would be a great extension of this format. Definitely recommend it as an easy and convenient way to review verb synopses.

### 5/5 — Lit!

I love Latin verbs! -zebo

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-08-19*

This is any awesome game for anyone looking for practice with verb characteristics! As a teacher, the instant feedback is perfect for my students!

### 5/5 — Really a fantastic resource; any chance of an Ancient Greek app?

*2015-08-19*

This is a very well designed and fun app; who knew conjugations could be addictive? You are able to easily quiz yourself on any given form with accuracy, including macrons, and the UI is great.
