Description

The Rio Grande War is a thrilling two-player wargame that drops you into a hypothetical conflict between the United States and the Empire of Mexico following the American Civil War. In this immersive game, you'll take on the role of either the Imperial forces, led by Maximilian and backed by the French army, or the Allies, comprising the US and Mexican Republic. With the fate of North America hanging in the balance, every move counts. The game's central mechanism relies on Movement Points, which dictate each side's command and logistical capabilities, allowing you to recruit units and execute military operations. As you navigate the hexagon grid, each representing 45 miles of terrain, you'll need to strategically expend your Movement Points to outmaneuver your opponent. With each game turn spanning one to two months, the pressure is on to make every decision count. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to board game enthusiasts, and its engaging mechanics will keep you on the edge of your seat. Designed by Joseph Miranda and published in 2022, the Rio Grande War is a must-play for fans of post-Napoleonic wargames, offering a unique and captivating gaming experience that will challenge and reward you in equal measure.
