Hannibal & Hamilcar: Giant Playing Mat

Product detailed description

HANNIBAL is an asymmetric, card-driven game for two players that, from a purely Clausewitzian perspective (war as a continuation of politics), depicts the classic conflict (the Second Punic War) between two ancient powers (Rome and Carthage). Players achieve victory by securing political dominance in the Mediterranean region - they will need to plan and execute military campaigns and deal with various historical events. Designed by Mark Simonitch, one of the most acclaimed designers in the world, the game has received numerous awards and is consistently ranked among the top 15 war games of all time on the Board Game Geek website.

HAMILKAR is a standalone game in the same box. While it utilizes similar mechanics to HANNIBAL, it also introduces a naval system and exciting naval battles. In this game, set during the First Punic War, the Roman Republic, relying on the might of its land forces, will attempt to break through the chain of Mediterranean islands, capture the line of Carthaginian fortresses, and defeat the powerful Carthaginian fleet.
