Megiddo is a unique and challenging abstract strategy game. It won the “Best Game” awards from the British Toy and Hobby Fair, the New York International Toy Fair, the Paris Exposition in France, and was included in the Games Magazine Top 100 Games — all in its first year! A detailed strategy guide was written by two world-champion chess players - one of which became the first world champion Megiddo player. The game was included in the international Mind Sports Olympiad, and the game still is played fervently by fans in Europe.
With exception of a short run in 2011, Megiddo has been out of print since 1986 — until now!
NewVenture Games is very honored to have licensed the game from its inventor, Steve Baldwin, and will soon be offering Megiddo for sale again after all these years.
We’re going to produce three versions of the game in 2025. A “Classic Edition” is packaged in a tube like the first edition back in 1985. There also a boxed edition with a full-sized flexible board, plus a new Travel Edition with a pegboard. All three will include brand new packaging and an updated and enhanced 20-page rule book.
In addition, a new Strategy Guide is being published with over 100 pages of information, strategic insights, and examples of tactics. The name of the book is “How to Play Better Megiddo” - which is what it will help you do.
The new packaging and printed matter has been designed and prepped for production. A Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the materials and initial distribution costs.
After all the discounted Kickstarter games have been delivered, the third phase will commence and Megiddo will be listed in the NewVenture online store.
Megiddo is worth it. This classic has been praised by chess masters as a deep and strategic gem of a game. Mathematicians have confirmed its indisputable replayability. Players agree that Megiddo is most assuredly “a classic.”
