REVIEWS:
“With straightforward playthrough and mechanics, TCR manages to bring the Civil War atmosphere to conflict scale, and all with just eight pages of rules. In addition, around ten variants are available to players who would like to add more chrome to the game, including a variant for two players! In TCR, you really feel like you are with your staff in the White House and you have to constantly find the right balance in spending your resources. Of course each battle won is a breath of fresh air but victory can only be decided by succeeding in stifling the rage of the Southerners by depriving them of economic resources thanks to the blockade and the control of the vital Mississippi. The military, logistical and economic elements are there, and it all works ingeniously well thanks to a fluid and simple system. This allows you to do a lot of different things, but of course never enough to cover everything you need to do. The Confederate Rebellion is one of those addicting games where you don’t lift your head until you’ve finished the game and taken a healthy dose of positive tension.” – Pascal Toupy (Translated from the French)

“Please allow me to compliment you and your company. THE CONFEDERATE REBELLION is a truly elegant game. It’s simplicity makes it wonderful to play, yet there are so many aspects to it that it is far from simple! The decisions are interesting and require thought and planning. I finished my second game and only lost due to a 6 roll for the confederate build phase for them to retain a single build point. I haven’t explored any of the variant rules or counters but am sure I will. Thanks for this gem!!!” – Joe L.
