Hi fellow gamers,

thank you all so much for your support and believing into "History of the Ancient Seas"!

We just got funded and the "History of the Ancient Seas" series will become reality!

A dream comes true and we could not be happier :). 


Now on to conquering the stretch goals.

We have the "Archimedes" solo mode next up, but also many other goals that would be great to reach. Unique unit illustrations, additional meeple markers for Armies and Fleets (sneakpeak on that soon), more scenario setups and much more. Spread the word and we will reach these goals together with you.


Thanks again!

Your Sound of Drums Team (happy happy now!)

Fellow Gamers!
Thank you so much for your interest and support! This is an exciting travel for our team!
To the subscribers who couldn’t decide yet what to pledge, just a little reminder that the early bird will end in about two hours! 


Back the "early bird(s)" and „catch the worm“ and benefit from the savings we offer.

All the "Mare Nostrum" meeples?

I never counted the meeples I got for taking the action photos. Maybe you want to do this for the "Mare Nostrum" module above, but don't miss the "early bird" while doing so :D


Thanks again and until the next update,

Your Sound of Drums Team
