Founding Fathers: Revolution & the Founding

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. It's a different world:

• 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
• 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, of course, 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
• Make an Alliance with France
• Win the War
• Sign the Peace
• Write the Constitution and get it ratified

All of these and many more are acts you'll perform in this game!

All the gorgeous graphics are once again arranged by our wonderful graphic designer, Luca Cammisa!
