About this game

(From the publisher) "Blood of Noble Men: The Alamo" is Worthington Games' fast and fun depiction of the final fight for the Alamo. The game is designed by Dennis Bishop and is based on the exciting Victoria Cross system. The Texan player, with a thin force of infantry and powerful artillery, must hold the walls as long as possible. The Mexican player must quickly breach the walls while minimizing losses. Will your command skills equal the grit and determination of Travis' rallying call of "Victory or Death!"

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
