Battle of Vinegar Hill Game
A historically themed game about the little-known Battle of Vinegar Hill during the 1798 Irish Rebellion. British forces attack a United Irish camp, with disciplined regular troops facing a larger but less well-equipped rebel force. Players use cards to govern movement, combat, and special events. Victory goes to the side that captures a majority of the objective hexes while avoiding excessive casualties.
