## What is 1775?

The year is 1775. The American colonies are outraged over new taxes imposed upon them by Great Britain. They begin to stockpile arms and organize militia. On April 18th, militia members ambush a column of 700 British Redcoats ordered to seize stockpiled arms. 273 British soldiers are killed or wounded before they reach safety in Boston. 

The American Revolution has begun! 

Now you and your friends command the armies of the British Redcoats, English Loyalists, German Hessians, American Regulars, Patriots, French Regulars and Native Americans to decide the fate of the Americas. Players from each faction cooperate to gain control of key towns and forts. Share the fun in this light and fast paced game vs the AI, hotseat or online!

Key Features 

1775: Rebellion features simple and unique game mechanics and special attention to historical detail. Experience this critical time in American history, you will not be disappointed! 

- 3 Scenarios – 1775, 1775 (Short) and Siege of Quebec. 
- Play solo vs. 3 AI difficulties 
- 54 Cards (Movement & Event) 
- Up to 4 player hotseat multiplayer. 
- Faithful conversion of the original board game.

About the Game 

1775: Rebellion is based on the award winning board game developed by Academy Games. 

The mapboard represents the original 13 Colonies plus Maine, Nova Scotia, and Quebec. Each Colony is further subdivided into areas over which factions will struggle for control. A faction holds control of a Colony when only units of its side are present in the areas of a Colony. Player controlled factions include the Continental Army, Patriot Militia, British Regulars and Loyalist Militia. In addition to this the Allied French and Allied Hessian factions, which are controlled by American and British forces respectively, can be brought into the game by event cards playable by each faction. 

Each game is played in a series of rounds. Victory conditions are checked for each side starting on round three and each game ends with victory points being tallied automatically on round eight if no one has won before then. Each round is subdivided into four turns, one for each side, which happen in order determined by a blind draw of the turn marker for each faction. It is entirely possible for a faction to go last in a previous round only to go first in the next. 

Movement & Events 

Every Faction has a deck of cards consisting of Event cards, Movement cards, and one Truce card. Every turn, each faction will play a movement card to maneuver their troops and any number of event cards. When both factions of a side (British or American) have played their truce cards, the game will end! Each deck has a specific number of movement cards in it and managing them is an important part of the game. 

Each faction has a Truce card which serves not only as a timer for the game but as a powerful Movement card. However, a game may end prematurely if both factions of a side are forced to play it early in the game.

Note: We recommend playing on an iPhone 5S, iPad Mini 2, iPad Air, iPad Pro or newer device.

### 1/5 — Not fun

*2026-02-08*

I paid $10 for a game that isn’t even fun. The tutorial is complicated and the game is easy unless you play on hard. I wouldn’t recommend unless you enjoy virtual board games that are not fun

### 3/5 — iPad Yes; iPhone No

*2025-11-18*

This is a reasonably engaging light tabletop wargame. It’s one of very few apps in that niche.

Its only demerit is a big one: It literally does not work on my iPhone because you cannot see certain in-game buttons.

### 2/5 — Improper screen fitting

*2025-07-05*

I give only a bad rating because the app doesn’t fit to my screen, I can never access the next turn button because it’s cut off by my screen. There is no settings in the game to adjust screen size or to fit. I am saddened that I spent my money on a game that I cannot play 😔

PLEASE FIX THIS OR SHOW ME HOW 🙏🏼

### 4/5 — Really Good, Needs a Few More Options

*2024-04-02*

I would like to have the option for complete domination where you have to completely eliminate your opponent. 

I would also like the option to speed up the AI.

### 4/5 — Screen issue

*2023-09-18*

My only issue is that it doesn’t fit my iPhone’s screen shape anymore since I upgraded; makes it hardly playable anymore.

Other than that, the game is great! Please just fix this.

### 1/5 — Update

*2023-07-29*

The game no longer works for me after the most recent update.  Any others having this issue?

### 4/5 — Great game

*2023-05-13*

This is a wonderful mobile port of a phenomenally good board game. However, it’s in dire need of an update to bring the resolution up to the modern iPhone screen. The icons and text are very, very tiny.

### 1/5 — Text, dialogue boxes too small to read easily

*2021-11-10*

Impossible to play even on a large format iPhone — only buy this if you have a big tablet to play on.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone

*2021-10-11*

Does not work can not move around the board worse £10 I have ever spend do not buy this game shame I would have like to play this game

### 5/5 — Fun sub for board game

*2020-04-12*

I have played this board game and others in the series many times with my kiddos.  They don’t want to play simple games or the complicated Avalon Hill games I cut my teeth on; this is really a fun, balanced game system that is historically representative.  Tactics are subtle and strategy is multifaceted.  And fun.  We don’t need 30 pages of eight font type rules to have fun.
