News

We are back from a very successful Origins games convention. We released two new games: Clash of Titans and Triumphant Return. Clash sold out Saturday morning, Triumphant Return at noon on Sunday. Our April release, Turning the Tables, sold very well, too; all copies were gone by Saturday. In addition, All Quiet On The Western Front? won the Charles S. Roberts Award for "Best Pre-World War 2 Boardgame" of 1997 -- our second award in this category in a row!

From now on, larger MiH games will be available in two versions, the "Standard" ziplock version and the "Deluxe" boxed version. Only a strictly limited number of professionally produced boxed copies will be available.

An exception to this new policy are small games with half-sized maps and a very small amount of components, e.g. Triumphant Return (TR-15). These small products will be available only in a ziplock version.

We are also considering packaging very big games (several maps and countersheets) exclusively in a box.

When you order MiH games in the future, please state whether you want the ziplock version or the boxed version of each product (of course, you can also order a mix in multi-game orders). The boxed version's order code has a "B" at the end. Example: COT-14B is the boxed version of Clash of Titans.
