I can only apologise for my selfishness. If it helps, our house move does appear to be back on again for the time being at least. Third time lucky!
The long awaited Kickstarter campaign for Hannibal (and Hamilcar) is live. I'm not a war gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but I love the Second Punic War and anything to do with Hannibal and Scipio, so I might have to think about this one.

They knew it, he knew it, and I suppose he was campaigning for good terms and never expecting an outright surrender.
During one meeting at work, someone was being overly dramatic worrying about a non issue. I jokingly said, "It is not like Hannibal is at the gates." They thought I was referring to the Anthony Hopkins character.
Things I'm waiting to finish:Omiga - Quick Tile laying game, looks quite simple/expensive thoughCircle The Wagons - just completed; neat little microgame from Button Shy.Hardback - Tim Flower's latest card game, I don't really like word games, but this has some appeal.Rahdo Runs Through - I backed Rahdo for the last 2 years. Generally, I like his content, but I don't think he's enjoyed making content over the last year. A lot of videos seemed rushed or he's not had time to absorb the rules before he starts. As a backer you get to vote on his next videos, but every game I've voted for has not been voted highly, and thus hasn't had a video made. I feel like a minority voter compared to most of his fans; I'll probably give it a miss this year.Petrichor - Described as similar to Dominant Species, but in a 1/5 of the time. This looks interesting, but none of the playthrough videos have been very clear, the game looks bogged down to me.Chariots of Rome - A Chariot game? Sounds interestingI'm watching a few others: Gloomhaven, Dungeon Dice, City of Kings - but these have less appeal.What's everyone else watching?
We realize that this campaign has been delayed several times and in order to make the shipping process as fast and efficient as possible, we have decided to upgrade every single pledge. Yep, all of them. All pledges up to the $70 level will receive the brand new Kingdom Builder Big Box. That is the base game, all four expansions and the Queenies, all packed in the newly designed version of the Kingdom Builder Big Box. Backers above $70 who were already receiving copies of the Kingdom Builder Big Box, will also receive 1 complimentary copy of Kairo per Big Box.
At the time of this post Brass is just about to hit 900k!
Now I have to decide on Brass by Sunday. So, for the bad influences among you (you know who you are, Chooselife and Decar and pretty much everybody else ), here's your chance to make your case for Brass. Go!
