Deck the halls! November is flying by, and the holiday season is just around the corner. Let’s take a look back at the month’s highlights and get ready to celebrate.

Sea & Steel Crowdfunding Campaign:

The Sea & Steel game board is shaping up beautifully. We are in the final stages of perfecting the cards, player aid sheets and rulebook.

We’re committed to providing the best possible user experience. Your feedback helped us improve the map by making it larger and rectangular. Thanks!

We’re excited to share the final design of the counters. We hope you like them as much as we do!

Sea & Steel: Columbus’s Voyages is coming to Gamefound! Join our preview campaign now to show your support and be the first to know about our official launch. We’re hard at work finalizing the game and preparing an unforgettable crowdfunding experience. Stay tuned for exciting updates and the official campaign launch date!

Collaborations:

We introduced our newest addition to our brand: Neva Skirmish. This new line offers an even more compact alternative to our existing Neva Frontline (book-sized). These historical pocket games are ideal for quick and portable gameplay.

Neva Skirmish is our ultra-portable line, designed for gamers who want to take their hobby with them. These travel-friendly games offer a satisfying quick but intense gaming experience, no matter where you go.

In celebration of this launch, we will be co-hosting the first prototype contest with Mesa de Guerra as part of their First Virtual Wargame Convention in December 2024.

To provide insight into the compatible games for our Neva Skirmish line, we’ve added “Peking: 55 Days Of Fury” to our Incoming! list.

Please note that the new title is currently under development, and all graphics shown in the images are provisional until the final artwork is completed at the conclusion of the development phase.

Contest Considerations

If you are considering joining the contest for the Neva Skirmish prototype, here are some key highlights to keep in mind as we prepare the final specifications:

  • Game Board: The game board should measure 31.5×29.6cm or 12.40×11.65 inches.
  • Cards: Ensure the cards are of Poker size, with a maximum of 42 units.
  • Counters: Each counter should measure 15x15mm or 5.90×5.90 inches, with a maximum of 80 units.
  • Dice: A maximum of 6 six-sided dice should be included in the game.

These specifications will help ensure your prototype aligns with the requirements for the contest. Stay tuned for the finalized details, and best of luck with your entry!

This international contest offers an exciting opportunity for enthusiasts worldwide. The winning game will have the chance to be published by us! The most promising prototypes will also be considered for publication. Stay tuned for more updates in the upcoming weeks.
