PHGA057 Freedom! $75.00 SRP $39.38 NPI Freedom! is a siege game, a test of will, endurance, and tactics between the besieged Freedom Fighters and the besieging Imperial Forces, who have come to crush the rebellion. This asymmetrical game represents the history of the siege of a Greek Holy City (Messolonghi) by Ottoman forces during the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829). The battle takes place in two maps: one showing the actual city and the forces involved in the siege, and one with the surrounding areas, highlighting the support that each of them provides to both players. The goal of the invading forces is to manage to get inside the city before the end of the game or force the citizens to abandon it when their morale went down to zero. The defenders try to withstand the siege and protect the city long enough for the invaders to abandon their attempt deciding to leave on their own or by their morale going to zero. 2 players Ages 14+ 90 minute play time Contents: Mounted game board Rulebook 2 player aid charts 100 game cards (poker size) 103 wooden cubes 21 wooden triangular prisms 86 cardboard tokens 2 6-sided dice 3 8-sided dice 10 zip-lock bags Components

PHGA059 Freedom! Solo Mode $8.00 SRP $4.20 NPI Freedom! is a two players game, the besieged Freedom Fighters against the besieging Imperial Forces, but now, with this Solo Mode Expansion, you can play it as single player game. This solo mode expansion allows you to play a single player game, as the Empire, while the insurgent player is played by A.I., reacting to what the human player will be doing. The A.I., through a flowchart spelling out various cases that will explain what to do in each case, during the play, will act at the best for the Freedom Fighters, trying to resist to the enemy siege. During the play the insurgent "bot" will draw a normal hand, kept face down. But don’t worry, the A.I system is simple and easy to use! This expansion contains a rule sheet and 10 game cards (poker size). This is not a stand-alone product, and you need a copy of Freedom! to use this expansion. Contents: Rulebook 10 game cards
