Freedom!

Freedom! is an asymmetric 2-hour game that captures the fluidity of the siege and the wider political and logistical challenges facing both sides. The player actions are driven by the cards in their hands, which highlight actual events and personalities of that time, while the combat is dice-base to allow for quick and exciting gameplay.

Freedom! features asymmetrical play. The goal of the invading forces is to get inside the city before the end of the game, or to force the citizens to abandon the cause by dropping their morale to zero. The defenders, on the other hand, try to withstand the siege and protect the city long enough for the invaders to abandon their attempt either by deciding to leave on their own or by having their morale dropped to zero. The battle takes place on two maps: one showing the city itself and the forces involved in the siege, and one showing the surrounding areas, highlighting the support that each of them provides to both players.
