What brought American colonists from being loyal British subjects to revolution in 10 years? Role play events leading to Revolution from their perspective. Geopolitical-military RPG by NSDMG staff.
Long Description:
Historical, fast-paced, crisis-oriented version of the NSDM geopolitical-military-economic RPG. As we observe the 250th anniversary of key events in the American Revolution, it is a good time to reflect on the personalities, agendas, events and energies that drove decisions. From the end of the French and Indian War to the first battles of the American revolution, what brought the colonists from being mostly-loyal British subjects to armed revolt in only ten years? Role play the events leading to the American Revolution from the perspective of key figures. Experience the decisions, the diplomacy, the tensions, the frustrations; and there will be unintended consequences and the occasional unexpected, counterfactual-but-plausible event. A new game variant presented by the National Security Decision Making (NSDM) Game staff, intended to entertain while hopefully teaching something.
