Write the history of the Balkans.
Strategy. Diplomacy. History.
Step into the medieval Balkans, where the stories of rulers, cities, and fortresses meet your decisions — and your knowledge of Balkan history opens your path to victory.
Your move. Your knowledge. Your story.
HEM is a strategy and educational board game that brings the history of the Balkans and the surrounding region to the same table as competition, negotiation, and alliances. As you discover the places, people, and events that shaped the region, you also build an advantage in the game: greater knowledge creates more opportunities to outwit your opponents and move closer to victory.
Conquering territories, besieging cities, and bringing ships and siege engines into play add excitement and keep the outcome uncertain. A good plan and timely cooperation still matter, but what you learn can also turn the tide of a game. Educational posters reveal the stories behind the territories on the map, turning knowledge of the region’s history into your advantage.
Gather your friends, discover the past, and write your own history of the Balkans.
