In the year 406 A.D. thousands of Barbarians crossed the Rhine River into the Western Roman Empire. A short time later, Vandals, Suebis, Alans and Visigoths entered the Iberian peninsula occupying much of Hispania. However, the Empire would not so easily renounce the diocese of Hispania ...
THE FALL OF HISPANIA is a strategic board game set on the Iberian Peninsula during the last century of Roman administration. Up to four players will dispute the dominion of Hispania throughout ten rounds of the game.
The game is a simple wargame using resource management and diplomacy giving it a touch of Eurogame with some resemblance to the popular "Britannia". Several prototypes have been tested over the last two years with players from Spain and France. The game has met with a positive response at local games fairs such as Excideiul at the end of 2016
Game components
**- Box of 32x23x6 cm
Board folded in 6, 66x45 cm
76 wooden cubes of four different colors
44 metal coins, duplicates of money,
50 top quality cards, size 88x66 mm
30 pieces of cardboard
5 dice
Instruction book and historical introduction of 16 pages**
The components of the game will be entirely purchased from European companies, which guarantees us an efficient control over their manufacture and transport (no containers traveling from China ...).
The game engine is a deck of cards that marks the development of turns. Other cards, of each player, serve to modify the combats, the movement or to realize some special action.
Several leaders can command the armies, increasing their ability to move and their fighting power. However, and based on the uncertainty of this dark and exciting age, some of these leaders may not even come into the play.
The mites, the coins of the game, little pieces of the Roman world. Here we can compare them with a 20 cent euro coin.
Game system
The Fall of Hispania consists of 10 turns of game. At the beginning of each turn a deck of cards is formed, consisting of common cards and specific cards. The specific cards appear in certain turns, while the common cards are kept in the deck every turn.
According to progress the game reveals the cards, making the players the actions described in each card. These actions can be carried out by all the players (move, combat ...) or only by some player (appearance of a leader, reinforcements, ...). The cards also determine certain events, such as riots bagaudas, or attacks of the burgundi.
Each player, in turn, has a small deck of cards that serves to modify the actions of the game.
The objective of the game is to accumulate victory points, which are achieved by dominating areas of the board, conventus, or by special actions such as the conquest of Carthago, to stop the Huns, etc.

Rewards
The Fall of Hispania can improve its components if funding increases. We have prepared a series of rewards that patrons will get once the limits are reached.
We increased from 50 to 54 the deck of cards, including four important cards: Majoriano, Asentamiento, Burgundii y Herulos Pirates.
With these cards you gain replayability, introducing new options into the game.
Four aid sheets in size DINA 5, where players can have a summary of their faction and a place to store their treasure and reserve armies during the course of the game.
A comfortable cotton bag, to keep coins and wooden cubes.
We have got some surprise once the financing of the campaign has been obtained.
Add-on
La Caída de Hispania añade un quinto jugador, con sus correspondientes huestes, monedas y líderes.
The Franks, sometimes allied with the Empire and in others, rivals without pity. With this Add on we provide the necessary rules and elements to recreate the end of Roman Gaul. * Siagrio *, * Clovis I * .... numerous new options with this expansion.
Chi-Rho (Christus rex) represents the Lower Empire, what better than to wear it proudly with this T-shirt; available in two colors and three sizes.
English Pack
The English language edition will be fully translated with both a printed and downladable rule book. All game cards will be also be printed in English. The board remains the same across all editions as it is not language dependant.
Pack Français
Livre de règles et cartes traduites en français. Avec ces composants, le jeu est parfaitement jouable pour francophone (le plateau de jeu n'a pas de dépendance de la langue).
10 additional coins.
The mites were high-imperial coins of very little value. The mites of the Fall of Hispania are made of a zinc alloy that makes them as durable, at least, as the Roman coins they represent.
Shipping cost
Shipping costs are not included in your pledge. After the campaign has concluded we will ask you to pay for shipping during the "Pledge Manager" phase.
The shipping for this project is E.U. friendly.
We will destine your contributions...
The Fall of Hispania is not a pre-sale. It is actually a popular funding (crowdfunding) to the "old-fashioned" *. Behind us there is not a big (or even medium) editorial. Only a small group of entrepreneurs who fight against the bureaucracy in order to offer a new line of wargames. And for this we need contributions that can give us some economic independence.
But that's no obstacle for us to try to offer a professional product (after all, you expect a return for your generous support), and not a half-finished fan-made. The game is tested waiting that, friends and patrons, suggest changes during the campaign.
Project status
** The game is finished and tested **. Its main mechanisms are reliable and will not change. If we can change the art of the game and certain complements if you, the patrons, ask us.
Today, a part of the components of the game are already in our power. However we need your collaboration so that the Fall of Hispania sees the light. Finances! If you do not do it for us, do it for the glory of Rome....
Audentis fortuna iuvat
Calendar
Once the project is financed, we will send the material to the press; in any case it will be a** European printing press**. With this we ensure less waiting time and better tracking of the project.
A realistic calculation is that for the month of February 2018 the game will be with you.
From SPANIA GAMES we promise to send to each patron a PRINT & PLAY one week after project financing: rules, ready to print board in A3, and a file with the counters, 50 (or 54 ) cards and aid sheet.

Hola Jessicadeangel. Según nuestros datos (de VERKAMI) elegiste dos recompensas, de 4 y 5 euros respectivamente (no el juego), pero solo pagaste la de 5 euros, quedando pendiente la de 4 euros. Ponte en contacto con nosotros en [email protected] y te hacemos la devolución de esos 5 euros. Gracias y disculpa las molestias ocasionadas.

Solo se puede jugar con los francos si juegan los otros 4 jugadores. Adicionalmente el jugador franco también se encarga de jutos, anglos y sajones.
Fernando
Mi duda es: si tengo la expansión del 5 jugador. ¿Solo puedo jugar con los francos si somos 5 o puedo usarlos igualmente si jugamos 3?
