Played out over two days in April 1862, the game puts you in command of either the Union or Confederate army, navigating the challenges of area movement, secret unit deployment, and dice rolling to outmaneuver your opponent. With a playtime of 180 minutes, you'll have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the action, making tactical decisions that could turn the tide of the battle. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to anyone familiar with board games, and the lack of cards keeps the gameplay fast-paced and intuitive.

Whether you're a history buff or just a fan of wargames, Shiloh: April Glory offers an engaging and challenging experience that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
