Description
A More Perfect Union: The Struggle to Ratify the Constitution is a game that drops you into the midst of a pivotal moment in American history, where you'll take on the role of either the Federalists or the Anti-Federalists, vying to shape the country's future. This 2-player game is all about strategic planning and hand management, as you build powerful hands of cards over consecutive turns to sway the debate in your favor. With its card-driven mechanics, similar to those found in popular games like Twilight Struggle, you'll need to think carefully about how to play your cards to achieve your goals. As the Federalists, you're aiming to get nine states to ratify the Constitution, while as the Anti-Federalists, your goal is to convince five states to refuse it. The game is designed to be accessible to anyone familiar with board games, with rules of normal complexity that won't overwhelm you. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to become immersed in the world of 18th-century politics and develop your strategy. Published in 2012 and designed by John Lapham, A More Perfect Union offers a unique and engaging gaming experience that's perfect for history buffs and strategy enthusiasts alike.
