1775: Rebellion is based on the award winning board game developed by Academy Games - in which players command the armies of the British Redcoats, English Loyalists, German Hessians, American Regulars, Patriots, French Regulars and Native Americans to decide the fate of the Americas.

Every Faction has a deck of cards consisting of Event cards, Movement cards, and one Truce card. Every turn, each faction will play a movement card to maneuver their troops and any number of event cards.

When both factions of a side (British or American) have played their truce cards, the game will end. Each deck has a specific number of movement cards in it and managing them is an important part of the game.

Battle across the Colonies with large armies or small. So long as each army group contains a unit of your faction, you may move units of your partner faction as well as Allied units with you from area to area.

In a four player game, each faction must strategize with their partner to maximize potential!
