About the game:

What is Quebec 1759?

Quebec 1759 is a small, simple and short block board-wargame covering the conflict between the British and the French in Canada during the French and Indian War. The game comes with a gorgeous map drawn in the style of the period. Movement is conducted via a point-to-point system following the roads and towns in the area around Quebec. The game comes with handfuls of blocks to represent the British and French units.

A Stunning Upgrade!

This enhanced edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of this legendary board game!

Featuring a new map and cover art by Richard Luschek, along with updated block labels which now match the board’s color scheme, bringing a more cohesive feel. The rules remain unchanged, preserving the classic gameplay.

The “Columbia Block System”

Quebec 1759 is the first Columbia Block System game that innovated wargaming!

The game information for each piece is facing the player, but not the opponent! This allows a “fog-of-war” aspect of play that allows an extra layer of subtlety to gameplay. It allows for feints, bluffs, and outright surprises!

Also, it has a step reduction system built into place as well! As units take damage, they simply are rotated to show their new strength. It is an innovative design that has been a fan favorite of gamers in the know for years!
