Cooperative card-driven game about the fight against segregation.

Description

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a standalone game and here you CANNOT purchase Free at Last. This is instead a fan made expansion of the boardgame Free at Last designed by Ted Torgerson and Damon Stone and published by The Dietz Foundation in 2022.

This fan-made expansion introduces a reworked set of leader markers in Free at Last. New leader markers improve the game experience thanks to a nice looking and more readable layout and for the presence of the pictures of all historical figures present in the game.

ABOUT THE BASE GAME

pic6435765.jpg

Free at Last is a game for 2-6 players. Players take on the role of civil rights organizations (SNCC, CORE, etc) as they fight for equal rights and the end of segregation in the Deep South, circa 1960-1964. It is not about Washington, DC, but the efforts of the people on the spot, whether that is Claiborne Parish, Louisiana or Mobile, Alabama.

Free at Last is a card-driven game in which each card has a number (used to activate special individuals) and an event, but uniquely, the color of the number also matters and affects the type of project (voting rights, accommodations, school desegregation) that can be attempted.

Multiple-length versions can be played: 3 turns (ending with the Freedom Rides), 6 turns (ending with the March on Washington), or a 9 turn game covering this entire period in American history.

ABOUT THIS EXPANSION

This expansion introduces the following additions:

  • a new set of well designed and nice looking leader marker (11 Boll Weevil leaders and 79 civil rights leaders) that will replace the counters provided in the original game

  • an additional set of 12 Council of Federated Organizations Field Secretaries markers

  • an additional Department of Justice Staff attorney marker

IMPORTANT: If you are willing to purchase the Free at Last Leaders and Coalitions (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/free-at-last-leaders-and-coalitions), do NOT include this expansion in the order because it is embedded in Free at Last Leaders and Coalitions. If instead you want to purchase only the Free at Last Leaders expansion, do not forget to download the standalone rules for this mini expansion; you will find them in the Downloads section.
