Gettysburg Solitaire (2022)

About this game

Take command of the Confederate army at the battle of Gettysburg in an original bookgame by Worthington Publishing. Refight the bloody 1st and 2nd of July as you try to break the Union defenses at Cemetery Hill, Culps Hill, and Little Round Top. You receive 12 battle plays for July 1st and 12 battlesfor July 2nd. July 1 is the easier of the two days as you try to crush the I and XI corps and drive the Union army from Gettysburg. July 2, the battle gets tougher as you have to fight through Devil’s Den and Little Round Top, and the Union reserves coming from Culps Hill. All you need to provide is a die, a pen, and a sense of adventure to play.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
