## Description
Liberty: The American Revolution 1775-83 is a fast-paced wargame where you command British or American forces (with France joining later) during the US War of Independence. The game uses wooden blocks to represent units, keeping their strength hidden from the opponent until the right moment — adding a delicious layer of bluffing and strategy. The hexagon grid map enables tactical movement and dice-rolling combat, while cards introduce historical events and twists. Each side faces unique challenges: the British start strong, but the Americans leverage home-field advantage and guerrilla tactics to turn the tide. The simulation is detailed enough to satisfy history buffs without overcomplicating things. Includes leaders, infantry, cavalry, and even naval fleets, all in Columbia Games' signature sturdy components.
