SGS We The People

We The PeopleSGS We The People is a complete stand-alone game that covers the American Revolutionary war from April 1775 to September 1783 The game covers the whole war from 1775, using a system of two week turns. … The players have to use wisely their financial resources to spend their resources in new units or in replacements for weakened units to avoid their destruction. But it is not possible to rebuild every lost unit or to replace it. Cards play also a key role in the game as they bring some variation in the different fields, such as reinforcements, economics, diplomacy, politics, popular support and, above all, combat. The player will also find in the game nice historical events that bring ‘chrome’ to the game and helps you to feel the historical moment represented.
