We are proud to present the preorder of Agamemnon by Günter Cornett, published by Osprey Games. We sold here the English version of the game. The game is language independent.

Agamemnon is a board game for 2 players that lasts about 30 minutes. 


Introduction

Agamemnon, favoured by Fate.
Agamemnon, who angered the gods with his hubris.
Agamemnon, who led the war against Troy.
The strings of Fate bind the will of mortal men,
but the gods have a little leeway...

None can defy Fate but the gods themselves. Driven by the ambition of their king, the Greeks have arrived on the shores of Troy. Some seek power; some seek revenge, while others seek the great moment in battle that will define their place in history. From veteran designer Günter Cornett, Agamemnon is a fast-paced strategy board game in which two players take the roles of ancient Greek gods during the Trojan War. By tactically deploying warriors to where they're needed across the board, each player may influence the final outcome of the battles famously detailed in Homer's Iliad. Some areas will be decided by the strength of your warriors, some by sheer weight of numbers, and others by the inspiration your heroes provide.

The Designer

Günter Cornett is a German game designer and winner of multiple international game design awards, most notably for Kahuna and Hey, That's My Fish. Based in Berlin, he runs Bambus Spieleverlag.

How to play

The Board shows 32 spaces connected by String of Fates. On their turn each player will draw two Playing tiles representing the armies of Troy or Greece and place them on the available space on the board. These tiles are used to gain the control of many of the String of Fate as possible (points).

There are 3 different Strings:

• Strength Strings are won by the player with Playing Tiles of the Highest combined strength (spear number)
• Leadership Strings are won by the player with the single Playing Tile of the highest Rank.
• Force Strings are won by the player with the most connected Playing Tiles of any type.

There are also some special tiles which allow players to move Strings on the board or splits connected Strings.

The Expansion "Loom", already included in the box, add strategy and variability to the game.

Important notes 

Production. A distinction must be made between games printed directly by Giochix or printed by another publisher, that we can be call "indirect".

In the first case we have direct control over the printing procedures and wecanintervene quickly in case of problems, solving and adjusting if necessary. In the second case we can only interact with the publisher that prints the game without having the opportunity to act on the production process.

This means that when the games are printed by us, the shipping date thatweindicated in the draft is fairly safe. Obviously in this case there may bedelays, and this should be taken into account, but we are confident of being able to respect the times given.

In the second case, for "indirect" games, the shipment date is only indicative.Unfortunately it can happen that deliveries suffer a delay and this must beconsidered before making a purchase. Of course we will inform youimmediatelyif something were to happen.

-> Agamemnon is printed by Osprey Games So it is a "indirect" game.

Components. Game specifications and components are to be considered indicative and can be changed during final production.

Project pages. Sometime there can be some little variances between the pages of this project in the different languages. In that case, refer to the project’s English page.

Fairs. It can happen that game shipment is scheduled in a time frame adjacent to a big Fair, like Essen Fair in Germany or Lucca Comics and Games in Italy. Is important to know that we will show/sell the game in these fairs independently of campaign participant shipment status. These Fairs are too important and unfortunately it is not possible to avoid them without destroying the game’s chances to be a success.

Shipments. We ship by postal service or by supported courier (UPS/GLS/SDA)

We reserve the right to separate the contents of an order into different shipments or to merge the contents of different orders in the same shipment to improve the shipment's delivery speed and any required logistics management. If this happens, there will not be any additional cost for you as a customer (nor right to any refund).

Shipments made by courier or by insured the postal service can be tracked and are considered insured.

Shipments made by the postal service are not insured and cannot be traced. While rare it is also possible that a package may be lost (0.1-1%). Insurance option for potal services costs an additional 2-5 Euro depending on the destination.

Courier shipments may take about 3-6 days for EU and US/Canada. Postal service requires about 3-7 weeks for the same locations. Please note that the postal service in the same case can be slow and may suffer several weeks of additional delay. This happens very rarely but it is still a possibility and is out of our control. If you would like a faster deliever or avoid any risk of a long way; pleas use a courier service.

Courier shipment covers against package loss, destruction and package damage. Postal service insurance covers against package loss or destruction. Insurance requires a customer claim when package is delivered, ask to postman.

Please note that we will not reship any game without first having investigated what happened to the first shipment. This can be processed quickly through the courier service option but may require an additional 1-5 weeks through the postal service.

If the game failed to arrive because of your mistake (wrong address, recipient absent, not picking up at courier/postal warehouse, etc.), you will have to pay an additional shipping cost for us to re-send you the game. This cost will also include the return costs of the game. Otherwise, if we made an error, we will send it again to you at our expense. If package is lost or destroyed, we will reship it at our expense only if it was insured.

If you live outside of the European Community; custom's taxes may be added. This usually doesn't happen for boardgames; however, please check your country's legislation as this aspect will not be our responsibility.

We will no longer accept complaints related to this campaign after 12 months from the date of shipment.
