The Board Game of Revolutionary Political History

Important:
This is an expansion kit for
Founding Fathers by Rick Heli,
which is required to use this product. It also requires the Founding Fathers: Offices & Statesman expansion.
Introduction
With this expansion, in three intertwined games, face the challenges of planning the Revolution, managing its finances and fighting the War.
Before there was a Washington administration, there were the Articles of Confederation and before that, the First and Second Continental Congresses.
That means:
No President to direct the action.
The most powerful empire in the world invading your shores.
To ensure your survival, you'll need to cooperate like never before, not that anyone is above helping themselves once in a while though... or even becoming a Benedict Arnold...
That's your challenge in this game. New features include:
A representation of the war and military forces on the map
Year-by-year turns
Congress wielding executive power via the committee system
The creation of invidiual provisions of the Constitution
A state-by-state ratification process to see if your constitution actually goes into effect
The ability to continue into the base game period under the constitutional rules you have created, provided you survive the War, and, of course,
A whole host of new Issues, Statesmen, Actions, and, for the first time, Events.
So be prepared to
General the armies.
Write the Declaration.
Ally with France.
Win the War.
Sign the Peace.
Write the Constitution.
Get it ratified.
All of these and many more are acts you'll perform in this game!
This edition is compatible with all previous expansions.

Green Edition
The Green Edition has everything the Standard
edition has with the exception of the
printed rules, player mats and box. We can probably not deliver such
items to you as efficiently as you can for yourself. Which you will
want to do anyway, just to ensure you always have the latest
rules. Indeed you may not even want printed rules at all if you are
able to read them on a mobile device. If this seems strange, think
about it. All "paper" is delivered on-line now: newspapers, magazines,
computer manuals, insurance, banking and tax information, etc. This
isn't a games problem; it's a paper problem. Should games really be
any different? Let's all save a tree.
