About This Game

The United States is fracturing. Fort Sumter: The Secession Crisis is a two-player card-driven game set in the weeks before the Civil War's opening shot. One player controls the Unionists, the other the Secessionists. Both use area control mechanics to place, move, and contest political capital across four crisis dimensions — Political, Secession, Public Opinion, and Armaments. After three rounds, a Final Crisis confrontation determines whether the Union holds or dissolves. A digital adaptation of the award-winning GMT board game.
