Avalon Hill has published games as an independent developer and publisher, through its subsidiary Victory Games, its video game divisions, and later as a brand of Hasbro.

Original Avalon Hill

Some of these were originally developed independently and repackaged/republished by Avalon Hill. The games came in two formats: the earlier games were traditional flat-box packaging, and a later series introduced bookcase compact format packaging.
