Freedom:
The Underground Railroad
$70.00
SRP
Early
in the history of the United States, slavery was an institution that seemed
unmovable but with efforts of men and women across the country, it was toppled.
In Freedom: The Underground Railroad,
players are working to build up the strength of the Abolitionist movement
through the use of notable figures and pivotal events. By raising support for
the cause and moving slaves to freedom in Canada, the minds of Americans can be
changed and the institution of slavery can be brought down.
Freedom is a
card-driven, cooperative game for one to four players in which the group is
working for the abolitionist movement to help bring an end to slavery in the
United States. The players use a combination of cards, which feature figures
and events spanning from Early Independence until the Civil War, along with
action tokens and the benefits of their role to impact the game.
Players
need to strike the right balance between freeing slaves from plantations in the
south and raising funds which are desperately needed to allow the group to
continue their abolitionist activities as well as strengthen the cause.
The goal
is not easy and in addition to people and events that can have a negative
impact on the group's progress, there are also slave catchers roaming the
board, reacting to the movements of the slaves on the board and hoping to catch
the runaway slaves and send them back to the plantations.
Through
careful planning and working together, the group might see an end to slavery in
their time.
