Thanks to Indian resentment over the French surrender of their lands and the harsh policies of General Jeffery Amherst, governor-general of British North America, 20+ Indian nations rose up under the charismatic leadership of the Ottawa sachem, Pontiac, and the Lenape Holy Man, Neolin. When the powder-smoke cleared, 450 British soldiers and countless Indians had lost their lives. Two thousand settlers were either killed or captured, and 4000 more had been displaced. Moreover, Britain's foreign conflicts had put the Crown 140 million £ in debt. These expenses led directly to a series of unpopular taxes in North America, which in turn led directly to another uprising, our colonial revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePontiac's War attempts to recreate the reaction of Indian leaders to British mishandling of frontier politics and the impending colonial crisis it presaged. Building on the point-to-point system and loose Indian alliances used in King Philip's War and Blood on the Ohio, this design expands frontier conflict using Battle cards to introduce combat chaos, British expenditure on troops, Uncertain Indian armies' supply, siege rules, the capture of prisoners, French interference, and trader influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game offers five short introductory scenarios (15-30 minutes), three one-year campaign scenarios (2 hours), and one three-year grand campaign (5-6 hours). Although not a solitaire design, it is solitaire-friendly. Players will appreciate the high-production quality of the components, which includes a MOUNTED game map and large, 5\/8\" size punch-out counters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 22 x 34\" MOUNTED game map\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Counter Sheets of deluxe, 5\/8\" punch-out counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e106 Game Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Wooden Cubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 Player Aid Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRules Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight 6-sided dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox and Lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional Information:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplexity: 4 out of 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolitaire Suitability: 5 out of 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Scale: Seasonal turns (approx. 3 months per turn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap Scale: Point-to-Point map (approx. 60-75 miles between points)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Scale: 30-50 men, 4-6 artillery guns, individual officers, and sea vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers: 1 or 2 (best with 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying Time: from 15 minutes (intro scenarios) to 6 hours (grand campaign)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges: 12+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53250097774956,"sku":"125384","price":199.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0440\/6493\/1998\/files\/196852546053.png?v=1773016339","url":"https:\/\/www.goodgames.com.au\/products\/pontiac-s-war-frontier-rebellion-1763-66","provider":"Good Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
