CCC Game's STORY

Welcome to CCC Games, the home website for the Rome Total War board game.

A bit about Simon Hall

Simon has been a gamer and military history addict since he was 8. Chess, Bridge, Tabletop Wargaming (anything historical), Fantasy Games (He loves Bloodbowl to this day), board games, and Dungeons & Dragons including the Treasure Trap LRP version) have been a constant part of his life. So, in short, he is one of you—a games addict and enthusiast.

While working as a strategy consultant, Simon travelled the world, and Total War was his travel companion on planes and in hotel rooms for the best part of 10 years. Simon is now the privileged lead designer for the board game version of these under the CCC brand.

CCC Game System

What is CCC?

CCC stands for Colour Command & Combat, a system that uses colour and custom dice to manage both parts of a military game. The system uses special skull dice and command discs, which, with the right adaptations for each period, create the correct feel of combat and control for that period. These special dice are also at the heart of Total War Rome.

Simon's Journey

  • Total War Rome

    In 2020, while living in South Africa, Simon Hall participated in helping PSC to agree the license to produce a board game version of Total War Rome. After some challenges with the design, he stepped in with in-depth knowledge of the computer game to create a design that worked in a way that gave the right feel of the original computer epic. Over time it has evolved such that Simon was not just the lead designer but the publisher of the project, working in conjunction with Creative Assembly, to recover it to where it is today.
