Get ready to join the fight against the invading French armies in The Red Burnoose: Algeria 1857, a cooperative board game for 1 to 4 players. Set in the Kabylie region of Algeria in 1857, this game drops you into the midst of a intense battle for survival.

With a playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, The Red Burnoose: Algeria 1857 offers a engaging and challenging experience that's perfect for fans of cooperative games and wargames.
