5-11 Players | 50 min runtime
Shots ring out in Lexington and Concord. Politicians talk, armies assemble. In the shadows, spies ply their trade in dank city taverns, along rivers, and rough carriage roads.
Will you restore the glory of the British Empire and his majesty King George III by putting down the insurgents? Or, will you bring forth a new nation, where all are created equal upon the world stage?
They say information is power, and the pen is mightier than the sword. In this game we will put that to the test. Your goal as leaders, soldiers, and spies is to decide the fate of new world.
Min Players 5, Max Players 11
Table Setup
Two Saddlebags are visible in the middle of the table -- one for each leader.
A board consisting of 5 cities, with progression as follows, and a marker indicating the current city.
For odd number player counts add Benedict Arnold
For 5 players, use soldier roles only, and include Benedict Arnold.
For 6+ use soliders and spies, for odd numbers include Benedict Arnold
Table talk is encouraged, lie your ass off. Only thing you may not reveal is secret information not delivered to a leader. IE I saw two wests it must not be west.
For consistency once the cards have been retrieved from the saddlebags and the decision of where to defend is revealed, only leaders may talk. If a leader can evoke a misstep from the opponent that is allowed.
