Don’t Tread On Me is a strategic-level solitaire simulation of the American Revolution published by White Dog Games. The game system is based on the popular Vietnam Solitaire: Special Edition game system from White Dog Games and is designed by R. Ben Madison and developed by Wes Erni. The player of this solitaire game plays the British side along with American “Loyalist” forces against the A.I. forces of George Washington and the Continental Congress. The game features a number of innovative elements including political control, state loyalty levels (which can change), and an off-map system to show the presence of militia forces in a battle. This edition has a 2nd edition map that is a major improvement over the original map published in 2014.

Yeah, a rare Grant unboxing video! Hope you’ll have the chance to post your thoughts after a few plays. I have two of the designer’s games: Mrs. Thatcher’s War and Gorbachev. I’ve played MTW a couple times, and I think it’s decent. Not overly complex; just very procedural. By the second play it went pretty smoothly for me. In this solitaire game, the player is in the role of the UK. I have not beaten the game yet. My take away from that game is that it was by no means an “automatic” for the UK forces being so remote.
I have opened but not yet played Gorbachev. It will probably make it to table this summer for me.

I saw on YouTube that Gilbert Collins has designed an American Revolutionary War game on the horizon, called War for America. Compass is going to publish it, maybe late this year or early next year? His group is in play testing now, but he posted a couple 10-20 minute videos that I just got around to watching. Might be worth checking out if you like gaming that subject.
