Latest Updates from Our Project:

Spanish and Italian Successors almost ready
over 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 09, 2021 at 03:55:48 AM

Hello Everyone!


The Spanish and the Italian language editions of Successors will soon be ready for shipping. After consulting with our local partners, we decided to send the Italian edition directly from Poland, while the distribution of the Spanish edition will be handled by MasQuaOca.

Unfortunately, we’ve just received word from the printing house that the printing of the remaining language editions (Polish, German, French, and Czech) will be delayed even further. That means the shipping of these four editions will begin in January 2022 instead of December 2021. We’re sorry for the delay, but at this point, we’re unable to do anything to speed up the process. It’s all in the printing house’s hands and, as we’ve mentioned in the previous update, it’s suffering from both material and manpower shortages due to the global logistics crisis* and the COVID-19 pandemic.

We really are very sorry about this further delay. We’re aware how long you’ve been waiting for your game, and how frustrating it must be to see pictures on the internet of other backers enjoying their English copies of Successors. All we can say is that the wait will be worth it, but that we feel your pain.

There is one good piece of news, though. Those of you who are waiting for the Hannibal & Hamilcar Golden Geek Edition or an upgrade pack don’t have to worry about any delays. The printing house has assured us that the printing of that game and the update pack shouldn’t be affected by any additional delays, and the game/pack should reach most of the backers in December 2021.


Stay safe!

Giant playing mats are on their way!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 04, 2021 at 01:41:00 AM

Hello Everyone!


We have started shipping out the corrected giant playing mats for Successors. Some of you should have already received an e-mail notification. However, don’t be alarmed if you haven't received the notification yet, as some remaining mats will be shipped at the beginning of the next week. If you’re waiting for your mat, you may also want to check your notifications settings. If you have blocked them, you won’t get the notification.

You don’t need to contact us right now if you didn’t receive your mat, as each backer who ordered it will get a new and corrected one (that includes everyone who received an uncorrected mat back in July or August).


We’re very sorry that this entire process is taking much longer than it did just a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, the current global logistical issues have lengthened all processes connected with producing and shipping the games. Still, we’re trying to do our best to ensure that you’ll receive the product of the highest quality and as soon as possible.


Stay safe!

News from the printing house and more
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 03, 2021 at 05:17:11 PM

Hello Everyone,


The last copies of the English pledge of Successors (without Hannibal & Hamilcar add-ons) have left our warehouse a few weeks ago, and we hope most of you have already had the chance to play the game – or at the very least had the time to unbox the game and marvel at what’s inside :) We’ve only recently managed to play the final production version of the game ourselves, and it was a great joy for us to do so.

The reprinting and correction of the giant playing mats for Successors will be finished by September 10, and the shipping will begin right away, at the beginning of the following week. The three missing Trans-Mediterranean Sea Paths leading from Libya to Crete and from Egypt to Rhodes are no longer missing, and you’ll be able to enjoy playing Successors on a truly epic scale soon enough.

How to build a dice tower?

You’ve asked us for an instructional video as to how to build the Dice Siege Tower that was available as an add-on, and here it is:

You can also check the instructions made by Björn Tufvesson on BoardGameGeek (thank you, Björn!) which come with very helpful photos.

Other editions

The Spanish and the Italian versions of Successors are being printed as we speak, but we have some bad news concerning the German, French, Czech and Polish editions. The printing of these language editions will be delayed, and we now estimate that their shipment will begin in December.

We’re very sorry for the delay, unfortunately, we have no say in the matter. Due to lingering manpower and materiel shortages connected with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the huge increase in shipping costs for the latter, the printing house cannot sustain the previously projected level of production. Simply put, they can’t print the games as fast as we’d wish for. Keep in mind, too, that changing the printing house at this point isn’t a viable solution for us, since each and every printing house in Poland is suffering from these same issues, and in effect, the change would put the production of Successors in German, French, Czech and Polish language versions even further behind the schedule.

We can only hope the printing house’s production schedule and the overall situation will improve, and that the next update will bring you much-needed good news.


Stay safe!

Giant Playing Mat
over 2 years ago – Sat, Jul 31, 2021 at 06:53:55 PM

Hello Everyone!


We have received word from one of the backers that his playing mat is missing three Trans-Mediterranean Sea Paths leading from Libya to Crete and from Egypt to Rhodes. We have paused shipping out the mats (but not the games themselves, these are being sent separately) to investigate and deal with this inconvenience.

Since we have found out there are more mats with these three missing Sea Paths, we’re going to send them back to the printers for repair. This will cause some delay, but the playing mats should reach those of you who bought them by the end of August. We’ll be able to provide you with more specific dates once we hear back from the printing house.

Some of you have already received the playing mat. We’ll contact you individually to establish whether your mats have the same defect. If that’s the case, don’t worry, we won’t ask you to send the mat back, we’ll ship you a completely new one.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience, and we hope it won’t diminish the joy of discovering all this game has to offer and all the fun you’re going to have playing it.


Stay safe!

The Egyptian Fleet is ready to sail again!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Jul 24, 2021 at 04:55:40 AM

Hello Everyone!


Today we bring you excellent news! The missing Aigyptos fleet markers have been printed, Successors’ boxes reassembled and shipping of the English edition of the game has restarted! The delay proved to be a bit shorter than anticipated, as the whole process took us just a week, not two.

As mentioned in the previous update, before we noticed the problem with the missing Egyptian fleet tokens, some of the copies of Successors had already been sent. Those of you who’ve already received or who’ll receive these copies don’t have to contact us – we’re going to send you the missing tokens using the same address. However, should you want to change that address, please contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible.

The non-English edition of the game hasn’t been affected by the Egyptian delay, it’s still right on track. The first copies of Spanish, French, German, Czech, Polish and Italian editions of Successors are poised to be shipped in October 2021.

Those of you who’ve ordered Hannibal & Hamilcar: Golden Geek Edition or Hannibal & Hamilcar Upgrade Pack, but haven’t decided to choose the optional two-wave shipping, will have your copies of Successors (and Hannibal & Hamilcar game or pack) shipped in December 2021.


Stay safe!
