IntroductionThe Microgame Design Group is a publisher of challenging and innovation conflict simulation games. In business since 1998, the MDG has produced many games and launched the careers of many aspiring designers.Gone are the days of desktop publishing (DTP) efforts; instead, games come with mounted, die-cut counters, larger playing areas (in 11x17 sections), and players' aids printed on cardstock. NewsDue to the volatile situation with tariffs imposed on Canada, and the United States suspending its duty-free "de minimis" threshold, the MDG will temporarily suspend shipments to the USA. We hope that the situation will be resolved soon. Blue PantherThe Microgame Design Group ran a trial with Blue Panther and while Steve Jones is a good guy and runs a good company -- we could not seem to mesh on production. As a result, all the titles currently under Blue Panther will be available again through the Microgame Design Group  James Eisert of Powercell Games will soon be publishing Clavius as Moon Base Clavius -- first as a DTP kit available through Wargame Vault and later in physical printed copies. A Kickstarter campaign will be conducted to promote the game. Current Designs
Escalation SeiesThe Microgame Design Group's Escalation Series by Kerry Anderson covers Cold War events that have brought the World to the brink of nuclear war. Based on concepts put forward by Hermann Kahn, Henry Kissinger and Robert McNamara, these game confront players with the complexity of the nuclear arena and challenge them to manage a crisis without destroying the World. The latest installment is NATO 1961: the Berlin Crisis.
Science Fiction SeriesThe Microgame Design Group's Science Fiction Series by Kerry Anderson are generally light-hearted, entertaining games that provide players with an evening's entertainment. These games carry a common theme for future humanity and, in cases, may be linked together. The latest installment is The Final Frontier: Mankind's Expansion into the Solar System
The First World War SeriesIn commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the First World War, the Microgram Design Group has a series of games covering significant British battles on the Western Front (that have not been adequately covered).The latest installment is a reprint of Vimy Ridge, Canada on the Attack.
Postage
A brief note about postage and pricing. The Microgame Design Group includes postage in the price of all games. With that said, postage costs from Canada can be high. If the weight crosses 200 grams, the postage cost doubles. Additional components or a second sheet of counters (e.g. Cuban Missile Crisis and Ypres 1914 have two sheets) significantly increases the price of a game. It is our goal to keep the costs low; hence, most of our games are light to keep them affordable for you. |
