Liberty: The American Revolution 1775-83

Published 2003

Liberty: The American Revolution is a block game, built on the same foundation as Columbia's much-acclaimed Hammer of the Scots. The card play and wintering rules are similar. The map has switched from area movement to a hex-based map with the traditional movement and terrain rules from other classic Columbia games like Wizard Kings. Leaders, infantry, cavalry, and fleets are all represented. From Columbia's web site: Liberty is a fast-playing game covering the American Revolution from 1775-1783. British, American, and French forces are included and the role of the Indians and Navies is depicted. The unique problems faced by each side become clear in this playable game. Nominee for the 2003 Charles S. Roberts awards for Best Pre-World War II Boardgame (Charles S. Roberts Awards).
