[TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK]

From the publisher:

A House Divided simulates the epic struggle of the American Civil War that was fought over the twin issues of slavery and states´ rights. The period from 1840 to 1861 saw the issues brought to a boil, and in 1861 the nation became tangled in a terrible war that lasted four long years. This game covers the war between the North and the South from the First Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas Junction) to Lee´s surrender at Appomattox (or Grant´s surrender at Harrisburg…).

Each player becomes a leader of one of these two nations and makes the strategic decisions which determine the ultimate outcome of the war. Two sides fought the Civil War, and two sides play A House Divided. One player is the North – the Union, the original United States, the Northern player. The other player is the South - the Confederacy, the Rebels, the Southern player. This game is played on a large mounted mapboard showing America, from the Atlantic coast on the east to Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana on the west. On the map are a number of boxes, each representing a city, town, or location important to the war. The boxes are connected by transportation-lines: rivers (blue), roads (beige), and railroads (brown). This is the third edition of A House Divided, an award-winning classic strategy game. This edition features a beautiful mounted mapboard and gorgeous playing pieces by German artist Franz Vohwinkel.
