Description
Gettysburg is a 2-player wargame that drops you into the midst of the American Civil War, where you'll command either Confederate or Union forces. Designed by Martin Wallace, this game focuses on balanced gameplay rather than historical accuracy, making it accessible to those familiar with board games. With a playtime of 180 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the battle, which takes place over three days, with each day consisting of four periods. As you play, you'll use action points and dice rolling to outmaneuver your opponent, with the goal of holding key locations by the end of each period. The game's unique mechanics, such as order blocks and discs, add a layer of strategy and depth to the gameplay. With only 1500 copies produced, Gettysburg is a rare and exciting addition to any board game collection, offering a challenging and engaging experience for fans of wargames and the American Civil War.
