These games are a new game system that have been designed for solitaire and two players.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe object of the game is to break three of the formations of the opposing side. This is done by activating your formations and choosing the best actions for it to undertake given the state of the battlefield.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShould you fire your artillery or attack with your infantry? Or should you move your formation to a part of the battlefield that provides an advantage? Or reinforce a faltering formation with troops from a stronger formation? Whatever choices you make, there is a cost to the morale of your active formation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurther you are limited on how many times you can call on a formation, and once called on you must decide how long you want it to press the attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach time you call on a formation your army gains momentum. As your army builds momentum it allows you to press your formations to continue attacking. But the cost is a reduction in the momentum the army has built up as well as reductions in the morale of the attacking formations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach formation has a fixed number of troop markers that can be hit in combat and are also subject to breaking from morale loss. Each formation can only be activated when its activation card is played, and these are limited and not always available. Each formation reduces its morale when activated and when continuing attacks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormations are broken when they fail a morale test OR when all their troop markers are eliminated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayers decide which formations to activate and how far to push it once it begins attacking. Push it just enough and they can win the day. Push it too much and failing a morale test will break it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreeman's Farm has been designed for easy set up and quick game play. Game unit placement is shown on the game board and units are wooden markers representing troop and artillery formations. The game was developed for solitaire play AND two players.

Designed by Maurice Suckling (designer of Freeman's Farm 1777), the game uses many of the concepts from that game. However, added hidden movement, much more maneuver, and other design tweaks make this a truly unique game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach turn players will play 1 of their 3 in-hand formation cards to maneuver or attack enemy forces, gaining momentum cubes based on the formation activated. Each formation is a Confederate division or Union corps. Each formation card will allow a major and possibly an additional minor activation, major allowing two moves for a formation while the minor allows one move. After each formation moves combat can occur if a move ends in a location with an enemy formation. Tactic cards may be played during the formation's activation giving it movement or combat bonuses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of the formation card activation players may spend their momentum cubes to buy tactics cards which may give them benefits in combat or movement in future turns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayers then draw a new formation card refilling their hands to 3. Hooker, Lee, and Jackson have bonuses that can be played once a game, adding to movement and combat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictory is determined by destroying enemy formations through morale\/strength loss, or the Union occupying the three victory locations which represent cutting off the Confederate army from Richmond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional rules allow for fixed defensive positions, Jackson's Flank March -- and even his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Worthington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32633103876147,"sku":"WPUB 057","price":94.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5179089.jpg?v=1606151779"},{"product_id":"war-of-1812-three-volume-set","title":"War of 1812 Three Volume Set","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGet Volumes I, II, and III all together in the War of 1812 Series.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Worthington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32656389734451,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Three_Game_Set.jpg?v=1607533795"},{"product_id":"hidden-strike-american-revolution","title":"Hidden Strike: American Revolution","description":"\u003ctable padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/maurice-suckling\"\u003eMaurice Suckling\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/dorian-richard\"\u003eDorian Richard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/all\/worthington-publishing-llc\"\u003eWorthington Publishing, LLC\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-120 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e318322\/hidden-strike-american-revolution\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/318322\/hidden-strike-american-revolution\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eHidden Strike: American Revolution recreates the struggle between the American colonists and the British forces during the War of Independence.
