Academy Games 1775 - Rebellion

Q: It seems like there's 5000 games that are basically a board with cubes on it. What makes this one stand above the rest (or most?)

You're statement suggests that you are new to designer board games. Much like there are thousands of movies thay are just moving pictures with dialogue and music attached the ones that stand out for each person differ (do you like action drama comedy etc..). Same applies for the recently exploded realm of baord gaming. If you're new to the hobby I would suggest subbing to some youtube channels (the dice tower, watch it played) or checking out the site Shut Up and Sit Down. All of which have articles or videos that serve as excellent orientations to the hobby as, just like tastes in cinema, tastes in board games will differ and the selection available now is dizzying. Now to more directly answer your question. 1775 is a great intro into what are commonly called "war games" amongst hobbyists. Think risk, but each faction is made unique in its play style by custom dice that make specific tactics more successful for some factions over others. Academy games (the producers of 1775) have a great reputation for historic accuracy and producing games that could also be used as a teaching tool. The history comes through event cards that correlate to the history of the revolutionary war. If this sounds interesring to you then there are few other games by Acedemy games in this style in whats callwd the birth of america series. Hope this was helpful. Game on!

Q: Does Academy games plan to release a Civil War game love 1775 ?

We are working on a Civil War 1861-65 game. But first we are finishing the following games in this series: "Fall of Rome - The Punic Wars" (yes, it will have elephants) and "Vietnam" .

Q: In 1775 game can all units move one space or only ones using movement card ?

Hello! You select a certain number of army groups to move when you play a movement card as specified by that card. For example, Continental Army movement card 02 specifies you can move up to 4 different army groups one space each. This means you would create army groups using the rules specified on pg 3 of the rule book, then you could move up to 4 of those groups one space each. Not all units can move one space using a movement card, only those organized into the army groups you plan to move with the movement card that is played. Thank you! -Academy Games Team

Q: How is this compared to "a Few Acres of Snow" ?

Not really in the same category. This is mostly just some random dice rolling/risk like. It's not really a heavy game. Few Acres of snow is very strategy driven and can be unforgiven if you make mistakes.FAoS is essentially a deck building mixed with some map area control. 1775 I would say is essentially some initial cube placement, mixed with luck. Thematically both I think feel revolutionary war. I wouldn't say they are really great games to teach the Revolutionary war other than some geography. Neither one is close to being as in depth as perhaps a GMT level game. Hope that helps. Check out boardgamegeek for much better reviews than this.
