American Civil War
A House Divided: Designer Edition
Union and Confederate forces fight the entire American Civil War in a single session. Players recruit state-based militia, move troops across an expanded map, promote Generals, and resolve key battles. A streamlined ruleset supports complex strategic decisions, while leader abilities and an Event Deck add differences in command, disease, weather, arms smuggling, foreign recognition, starvation, riots, and other wartime events. Capturing key cities affects recruitment and helps determine the course of the war.
