Postcard from the Revolution (2004)

About this game

Postcard from the Revolution is an attempt to make a very small war game that plays like a war game and not an abstract strategy game. As its name suggests, Postcard from the Revolution is a post card that includes the board, counters, rules and historical background of a single battle from the American Revolution. Plus, it is perfectly legal to send through the mail. The battles of Germantown and Brandywine Creek have been written for Postcard from the Revolution. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
