Un jeu où l'on ne sait pas vraiment quoi faire. L'enveloppe Guerre de Sécession est totalement inutile. Cela pourrait être n'importe quel thème. Les parties se terminent très souvent en match nul. Un gain est le résultat d'un coup de chance. Aucun intérêt aucun fun.

I REALLY wanted to like this game. And my initial review would have been four or five stars. But now I’m giving this game just two stars. And I will delete it. Why? This game is way too dependent on luck. You might as well just roll two dice. High sum wins. Here’s what I mean. If you are, say, the Union player and you are dealt a run of Confederate 1 cards, just quit and start over. You will lose. And why is the Union player being dealt Confederate cards anyway? The Union player should be dealt only Union cards. And the Confederate player should be dealt only Confederate cards. This flaw ruins the game for me. Developer, please consider fixing this! And here’s one more thing. Each round, each player should pick his action card in secret. Just like with the Objective cards. This game could be so great. But as it is, no. On edit: I’ve played maybe 10 more games since this review. And my two-star review still stands. Get a run of opponent 1 cards, and the game is over. It doesn’t matter how clever you are. You lose. That’s ridiculous.

Прекрасная стратегия. Если знать предпосылки Гражданской войны в США 1861-1865 года, то игра становится ещё прекраснее. Спасибо разработчикам!
