Lately, I have worked on the graphic design for Andreas Steding's board game 'Macht & Ohnmacht' / 'Power & Weakness'. This two player game will be printed in a limited edition of 500 copies, published by Mod Games, and be produced by JKLM Games. The game at this moment is processed to be printed, in order to be available in Essen. The rules and player sheets are both in German and English; all game components are language independent.
The game will sell for € 25,-, but when preordering it goes for € 22,-. For info: steding@mod-games.de

From the back cover:
England in the 5th century; Saxons against Celts!
The players try to gain control over England. Knights and magicians in their service are sent to the provinces to conquer their opponents.
But the methods of magicians and knights are very different. The knights turn to their swords and must slog overland from province to province. Meanwhile, the magicians can make use of the secret magical places and appear by surprise in an area that the knights believe is already secured for their own side. And so the struggle surges to and fro until one side attains power.
What is unique in ‘Power & Weakness’, is that two games are played at once; one game for magical control and one game for military control. Each player must decide whether to concentrate on the military or the magical field - or to try to be equally good in both - in order to attain power and gloat over the weakness of the opponent.

German back cover text:
England im 5. Jahrhundert, Sachsen gegen Kelten!
Die Spieler versuchen, die Herrschaft über England zu erlangen. Ritter wie Magier stehen in ihrem Dienst, werden in die Provinzen geschickt und versuchen ihre Gegner zu verdrängen.
Doch die Methoden der Magier und Ritter sind sehr unterschiedlich, während die Ritter zum Schwert greifen und mühsam über Land von Provinz zu Provinz ziehen müssen, können die Magier die geheimen magischen Plätze verwenden und erscheinen so überraschend an einem Ort, von dem die Ritter dachten, sie hätten ihn längst für ihre Seite gesichert. So wogt der Kampf hin und her, bis eine Seite die Macht erlangt.
Das besondere an ‘Macht und Ohnmacht’ ist, das hier gleichsam zwei Spiele in einem gespielt werden, ein Spiel um die magische Kontrolle und ein Spiel um die militärische Kontrolle. Der Spieler muss entscheiden, ob er seinen Schwerpunkt in den militärischen oder den magischen Bereich setzt - oder versucht er in beiden gleich gut zu sein, um die Macht zu erlangen und sich an der Ohnmacht des Gegners zu weiden?
