We the People (game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We the People is a board wargame about the American Revolution, published by Avalon Hill in 1994 and designed by Mark Herman. It was the first card-driven wargame, a style that has since become very influential in current wargame design.^{[citation needed]}

The unique feature of We the People is that it was the first wargame to use cards as the primary way to control the pace and tempo of play, with a strong element of fog of war through the hidden card information. This started a new genre of wargames that have emphasized competitive play and a strong historical narrative.
