The American Civil War 1861-1865. After years of mounting tensions, the Southern States will forcibly secede from the North. They want a loose confederation, while the northerners favor a United States union. Moreover, under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, the North wants to abolish slavery. A bitter battle breaks out between North and South. Brother fights against brother in this 4 years grueling civil war. After the initial successes of the well-run and tough Confederations, who were ill-equipped and mostly outnumbered, inevitable fate began to approach. Despite a maritime blockade, the gray-uniformed Southerners fought on, but after the decisive Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, they had no further chance against the bluecoats, who had more men and equipment at their disposal. As Commander in Chief of one of these parties, can you bend history to your will? Age: from 12 years Game time: approx. 60 minutes Content: - large game board - 160 game pieces - 3 army commanders - 3 blue dice - 3 black dice - 1 wooden marker pawn - game rules
