In the mid 1760’s, Britain, in order to deal with their mounting debt from the French & Indian Wars, levied new taxes on the British colonies in America. This unfair trade and economic pressure turned many colonists from loyal British subjects into anti-British patriots. After the Tea Act of 1773 and other subsequent events, the boiling point was eventually reached, and the outbreak of rebellion was upon the British.
1775 – Rebellion from Academy Games is the new game in the Birth of America series by Beau Beckett and Jeph Stahl. It plays 2 to 4 players, utilizing team play when there are more than 2. Players take sides in the American Revolutionary War, trying to claim the American colonies for the Patriots, or crush the uprising as the British Regulars. Making things more challenging is the addition of the French as allies for the Patriots and the Hessians, hired by the British.
