Do you remember the thrill of strategic battles waged across sprawling maps? The tension of calculated risks and cunning maneuvers? Now's your chance to own a piece of gaming history with this exclusive giveaway! NewVenture Games is giving away five unopened, vintage copies of Steve Baldwin's classic board game, Megiddo, straight from the creator's personal collection!
A smash hit in the 1980s, Megiddo captured the imaginations of strategy game enthusiasts with its engaging gameplay and epic scope. This out-of-print gem has been sought after by collectors for decades, making this a truly rare opportunity.
What is Megiddo?
Megiddo is a strategic wargame for 2-4 players (best with 2). Set against the backdrop of biblical Armageddon, players command powerful armies vying for control of the Holy Land. The game combines elements of area control, resource management, and tactical combat.
Megiddo is played on a round board consisting of six rings connected by six spokes. Each player in turn places a gem stone on one of the intersections in an attempt to get six pieces in a row in one of several configurations. A row of six could be either along a radial spoke, around a ring, or most interestingly, in a spiral from innermost to outermost rings. A win could also be achieved by capturing enough pairs of opposing pieces by bracketing them on either side.
Megiddo won the 1986 "Best New Game" at the National Toy and Hobby Fair in London, the New York International Toy Fair, and the Paris Exposition, was cited in the Games Magazine Top 100, and included in the Mind Sports Olympiad in 1997.
