Prelude to Rebellion: Mobilization & Unrest in Lower Canada

Manufacturer: Compass Games

Can war be avoided? Find out in this gripping 2-player card-driven game of political brinkmanship that embroiled Lower Canada in the 1830's.

As the Patriote player, rally the population around the idea that the Canadians have rights despite being mere inhabitants of yet another British colony. As the Loyal player, use whatever means at you disposal to maintain the status quo, going so far as to entice the hot-headed Patriote leaders to take arms, giving the army the excuse they need to quell this foolish quest for freedom once and for all. You've simulated war before - now simulate what leads to it!

Prelude to Rebellion features:

• A innovative mobilization system to track support for each faction.

• A unique scoring mechanic: roll custom dice to steadily advance scoring tracks until they reward players with victory points based on how well they are handling the conflict.

• An Opportunity Pool, where events are available to be purchased by both players during the turn.
