How To Play

Reviewer Quotes

The year is 1775. The American colonies have begun to stockpile arms and organize militia in outrage over new taxes imposed upon them by Great Britain. On April 18th, militia members ambush a column of 700 British Redcoats ordered to seize stockpiled arms. 273 British soldiers are killed or wounded before they reach safety in Boston.

The American Revolution has begun!

Now you and your friends command the armies of the British Redcoats, English Loyalist, German Hessians, American Regulars, Patriots, French Regulars, and Native Americans to decide the fate of the Americas. Players from each faction cooperate to gain control of key cities and forts. Share the fun in this light and fast paced multi-player game!

1775 is an area control game that is great for head-to-head or up to 4-player team play.

The perfect introduction to historical boardgames!

1775 Rebellion contains 205 Unit cubes and 16 Battle Dice for the 7 Factions in the game:

1775 Rebellion contains a large 6 panel mounted map that includes the original 13 Colonies, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and the Great Lakes. This is an exact satellite representation of the colonies as perceived by the peoples of the time.

In the 1775 Rebellion Rulebook there are historical scenarios and an In-Depth Historical overview of the revolution included.

Players vie for control of as many colonies as they can. The game ends if a truce card has been played by all factions of one or both sides. The game is won by the side that controls the most colonies. Games can end in a tie.

Take 4 Units from your supply and all of your Units in the Fled section of the map into Colonies your side controls.

Then choose your Movement and Historical Event cards.

Move armies based on the Movement Card you chose.

You can move entire armies or just single units if you are brave.

Gain Battle Dice based on which units you have in the fight. Each colored unit type has its own colored Battle Dice with a unique combination of Hit, Command, and Flee faces. Roll the dice and apply the results.

This battle system is very quick.

'Well 1775 Rebellion, I'm just going to say straight out. This is a fantastic game, I Really Really like it'

'Tantrum House gives 1775 two thumbs up!'

Sara Meadows - Tantrum House

'I love how all 4 factions are different from each other, they are thematic, fun to play and all have a different feel'

Dan King - Game Boy Geek

'Nonetheless, the game is a great educational game and much is to be learned just by reading the event cards and the history section of the rule book. It is also a great game for families to play on an afternoon. All ages can have a blast with this and I can see schools using it as a tool to make history fun.

Once again Academy Games has scored a victory and 1775 should go down as a classic game!'
