Box Description
For the People is a grand strategy game of the American Civil War covering the conflict from Texas to Pennsylvania, from the firing on Fort Sumter to the end at Appomattox Court House. You take the role of either President Lincoln or President Davis and command the armies, promote and relieve generals, conduct amphibious assaults, dispatch cavalry raids, and even battle incompetency and political intrigue among members of your own cabinet.
For the People includes a deck of strategy cards for conducting campaigns and incorporating the many events and personalities of the war. The Confederate player can build ironclads, naval mines (torpedoes), submarines, conduct overseas purchases, and work towards foreign intervention. The Union player can build up his naval blockade, his ironclad fleet, fight draft riots, secure the Border States, and issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Relive the history of this exciting time when our nation was torn asunder.
For the People contains 110 strategy cards, including the lethal Confederate Strategic Concentration which lets you combine Strategic Rail movement with an offensive a la Shiloh and Chickamauga. Strategy cards include:
- Forward to Richmond
- Mosby's Raiders
- USS Monitor
- Red River Campaign
- Trent Affair
- Food Shortage
- Baltimore Revolts
...and so much more!
