Hello Everyone!
I hope you still remember us and that our games have brought you a lot of fun.
The new edition of Hannibal & Hamilcar – the Golden Geek Edition, celebrating the award it received two years ago – will be available early in 2022! This edition will provide you with a new set of rulebooks, a new set of smaller and more manageable dice, a taller box and most importantly an entirely refurbished and enhanced Hamilcar game. To a large degree, it’s a different and much better game now!
Those of you who already have the previous edition will be able to buy an Upgrade Pack with all the required card replacements, board patches, updated rulebooks and more. The Upgrade Pack will be available at the same time as the Hannibal & Hamilcar: Golden Geek Edition.
Napoleon's time
Our new campaign is LIVE! Are you looking for a new approach to one of the most exciting historical periods (the age of Napoleon)? Then Coalitionsis for you! Asymmetry, diplomacy, area control, zero downtime... For 1-6 players. And with the big expansion - even for 7 players! And the expansion is free for anyone who backed us during the campaign!
Strong diplomacy, dynamic battles fought on a huge map of Europe, and on top of that, everyone plays simultaneously! There’ll be no time to make tea... as you’ll be fully engaged in the game all the time. But the fun is totally worth it!
Want to find out more? Visit our campaign. Follow us and see what we have prepared for backers. You have nothing to lose...and lots to gain. So, check it out for yourself 😉

Stay safe!

Best Wargame of 2018

Salve Everyone,
We are proud to announce, that Hannibal & Hamilcar has received the Golden Geek Award in the Best Wargame 2018 category. Congratulations to all of you, for you are the real winners as you helped this project to reality. And it just wouldn’t happen without you. So, here is me, representing you and holding this award on my neck as if you were there. We intend to carry this bling to Essen, so if you are around, pop in to our stand for a picture with your Golden Geek.
Reprint
We are just getting the reprint ready. And yes, we will offer an update pack, so those of you who’d like to pimp up your game a bit, can have it too. As we put the files together, there is this very last moment you can contribute to how the update pack will look like and what the new print-run will contain. I think it’s a great opportunity for those who love the game to have an influence on how it will be presented to the cohorts of future customers. Here is the link to the BGG thread, where you can comment and bring up ideas:
The update pack will be available during our Kickstarter for the game of Successors of Alexander the Great. And that’s planned for end of September. So stay tuned in.
And talking of Kickstarter...
Europe Divided
David Thompson’s and Chris Marling’s Europe Divided is a card-driven strategy game on the post-Cold War European geopolitics. It starts where Twilight Struggle ends, and brings you a tense, 2-player gaming experience in just 60-90 minutes. It’s a skill game as ruthless as nowadays diplomacy. I worked on the game’s development and wholeheartedly recommend it.
Out of print

Hello everyone,
We are very happy to announce that Hannibal & Hamilcar is out of print now! Your initial support has created this new edition, and the retail market absorbed everything that was left from the first printrun. Thank you for this. We are planning a reprint this year.
We are aware that the production has its flaws, and we want to fix them in the new print. We would like to address the issues as follows:
Provide a new rule books, rewritten in a modern way. The projects are here, for your evaluation - please put your comments directly in the files: Hannibal Rulebook, Hamilcar Rulebook. Thank you!
Provide a new, bigger (10 cm tall) box for the game components
Provide a new set of dice (smaller - 20mm and 16mm instead of 25mm and 20mm)
And last but not least: release a digital edition of the Hannibal game (Windows PC version)
Before moving forward, we want to make a Kickstarter campaign for the digital edition of the game. In the same campaign we could offer you an upgrade kit, containing the bigger box and set of new books and dice (of course we will publish the updated books in PDFs as well, for all who won’t be interested in such kit).
What are your thoughts on the above? We are always looking to learn more, so please leave us a comment under this update.
Thank you.

A note from Jaro, Hannibal & Hamilcar developer and creative director
Here is the link to the campaign, and my longer piece, where I describe how I wanted to use the success of Hannibal & Hamilcar to help other designers see their work published. I hope Vangelis and PHALANX will get your attention and support with publishing this, very exciting game.
Thank you and happy gaming,
Jaro
