Description

The Three Days of Gettysburg is a detailed and immersive board game that brings players into the heart of the American Civil War. Designed by Richard H. Berg and published in 1995, this game is a classic wargame that challenges 2 to 8 players to recreate the iconic battle. With a playtime of 420 minutes, it's not a game for the faint of heart, but the complexity and depth of gameplay make it a rewarding experience for those willing to invest the time. The game's attention to detail is impressive, with regimental-level units, individual cohesion ratings, and a four-level command hierarchy. The gameplay is balanced by an elegant system, making it easy to learn and play despite its complexity. With three large maps and over 1600 counters, the game is a monster in size, but it plays like an old favorite, making it a must-play for fans of wargames and the American Civil War.
