Game overview
Experience the American Civil War in Fort Sumter, a fast-paced CDG board game. Choose your side and preserve or dissolve the Union.
Fort Sumter: The Secession Crisis is a historically based game that allows you to experience the American Civil War from either the Unionist or Secessionist perspective. You must use an area control mechanic to strategically place, move, and remove political capital in order to control the Political, Secession, Public Opinion, and Armaments dimensions. The game comes to a head after three rounds of play in a Final Crisis showdown.
Designed by Mark Herman, the game uses a CDG (Card Driven Game) system that accurately depicts the events that led up to the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Immerse yourself in the historical setting with realistic voiceovers and audio that transports you back to that era.
Play against an AI opponent for offline play or challenge another player for an asynchronous or real-time 2-player online game. Additionally, you can pass-and-play with multiple players.
Please keep in mind that an internet connection and Playdek account are required for online play and users must be at least 13 years old in accordance with their Terms of Service. Will you be able to drive the Secessionist into the Fort Sumter trap and alter the course of history?
