The original rules and components were updated for this edition by Mark Simonitch and Jaro Andruszkiewicz, enhancing the visual impact of the original game and making it easier and faster to play. This new edition includes new scenarios and variants as well as brand new graphic design, miniatures, custom dice, extra cards, and a new double-sided mounted board (with the Hannibal map on one side and the Hamilcar map on the other). The contents are further enhanced by the inclusion of two new expansions: Sun of Macedon and Price of Failure.
