Barrinium Dawn — Available for Licensing

A modern tabletop RTS experience

Barrinium Dawn brings the excitement of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games to the tabletop, combining strategic resource management, tactical combat and competitive decision-making.

Inspired by classic RTS games, Barrinium Dawn offers players the freedom to build their economy, develop their armies, expand their territory and outmaneuver their opponents.

The result is a highly interactive strategy game that combines long-term planning with tactical decisions on the battlefield.

What Makes Barrinium Dawn Different?

Barrinium Dawn translates familiar RTS mechanics into a physical tabletop experience.

• Hidden Production Queues: Plan your production while keeping your opponents guessing about what is coming next.
• Fog of War: Explore an unknown battlefield and discover valuable resources and strategic opportunities.
• Expandable Gameplay: Combine additional base game boxes to increase the player count and expand the battlefield.

Development Status

Barrinium Dawn has undergone extensive development and playtesting.

• 15 blind playtest sessions with 5 independent groups.
• Core game mechanics validated.
• Complete core game and expansion concepts.
• Rulebook in final revision.
• Digital prototype in Tabletop Simulator (TTS) being prepared for publisher review.

The game has been tested with both experienced board gamers and players who are relatively new to modern strategy games.

Previous Publishing Experience

Barrinium Dawn is not my first experience in tabletop game development.

Through HulstGames, I previously developed and self-published a cycling board game that eventually became the official Tour de France board game through a publishing partnership with Just Games.

The game was initially produced independently in a limited run of 1,000 copies before being picked up for official publication. The official edition went on to sell approximately 20,000 copies.

This collaboration was also based on a royalty arrangement, giving me first-hand experience with this type of publishing partnership.

The Game & Expansions

Barrinium Dawn is designed as a modular game system, with additional expansions introducing new mechanics, units, buildings and strategic possibilities.

The current game system consists of:

• Base Game: The complete core experience, including resource management, production, expansion and tactical warfare.
• Strategic Innovations: New strategic options, technologies and improvements.
• Uncharted Waters: Naval warfare, rivers, seas and new opportunities for expansion.
• Experimental Frontiers: Experimental units, explosives, new sales options and dangerous tactics.

Choose your box and expansion colors carefully!
Add new colors to expand from 2 to up to 10 players, or choose colors you already own to double your available units and buildings

Publishing Partnership

Bast-Games is looking for a publishing partner to bring Barrinium Dawn to market.

The game is nearly complete. What is needed now is an experienced publishing partner to handle production, distribution and marketing.

What I’m Offering

• An original tabletop strategy game with a clear identity and established gameplay.
• A modular game system with three additional expansion concepts.
• A dedicated designer with experience in tabletop game development and a technical background in software development.
• An open approach to a royalty-based licensing agreement.

What I’m Looking For

• A publisher with experience in tabletop game production and distribution.
• An interest in medium-to-heavy strategy games.
• A partner who appreciates interactive gameplay, tactical depth and long-term strategic planning.
• A transparent and mutually beneficial collaboration.

I’m open to discussing different publishing and licensing arrangements to find a solution that works for both sides.
