    Great game!

Great Game!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Classic, Light War Game
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2018*

1812: The Invasion of Canada is the first in Academy Games' "Birth of America" series of light war games. Don't let the term 'light' fool you. These games have A LOT of strategy. They play like a mixture of Euro-style 'area control', 'action/card' selection and Ameri-THRASH dice driven combat! Trust me, the mixture of different mechanisms works brilliantly!If you think you don't like war games, you will like these game. If you LOVE war games, you will love these!The only flaw with this game is you spend a lot of time beating up on Canadians (if you're the US player), and it's always hard to beat up on Canadians. They're too nice and polite, and I feel sad whenever I crush one of their armies or capture one of their cities. ;)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great light historical war game
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on 24 August 2013*

My wife and I have played this several times and really enjoy it. Both sides have strengths and weaknesses and the flexibility to play 2 to 5 people makes it adaptable to group play. It is a light wargame as conflict is resolved via dice rolls, but the different factions have different dice and cards which can be played to effect the outcome so it is strategic. Can't wait to play the next game in the series '1775: Rebellion' when it is released in late 2013.
