Description

We the People is a game that revolutionized wargaming when it was first published in 1993. Designed by Mark Herman, it introduced a unique system of connected spaces that simplifies army movement and control of provinces. The game focuses on the generals, with their ratings for combat and strategic effectiveness playing a crucial role in determining the outcome of battles. The game's use of battle cards to resolve conflicts adds a layer of excitement and unpredictability, capturing the feel of historical events during the Revolutionary War. Strategy cards also come into play, marking key events and offering multiple uses depending on which side is using them. With a playtime of 120 minutes, We the People is an engaging and challenging game for two players, requiring a mix of strategic thinking and tactical maneuvering to emerge victorious.
