Next year, thanks to the publishing house "Niza Gams," board game enthusiasts will have the opportunity to "take on William, you know, our Shakespeare," as the asymmetrical card game "Hamlet" will be released.
The publishing house "Niza Gams" has opened pre-orders for "Hamlet" — an asymmetrical card game for 2–4 players with matches lasting 40–60 minutes. Those wishing to make a purchase will have to pay 2490 rubles.
In this project, players will take on the roles of Hamlet's emotions — fear, despair, doubt, envy, pride, and anger. Throughout two acts (rounds), participants will use character cards to fight for leadership in four scenes of the tragedy.
By winning these clashes, the strongest emotion gains influence points: the more they have, the higher the chance of completely capturing Hamlet's mind and winning.
A special role is harmony. The player who chooses it also plays character cards, but instead of fighting for leadership, they strive to reconcile the other emotions and bring the game to a draw.
The author of the game is Anton Parfenov, and the illustrator is Svetlana Chibichik. "Hamlet" will most likely reach the warehouse in the summer-autumn of 2026.
