The next stretch goal brings the USA into the game. Help us reach this stretch goal – consider buying a second game by simply doubling your pledge amount. In the continental US, 2 copies of the game going to the same address is the same shipping cost as 1 game. If you buy a second game as a gift, we will provide a gift card you can send to the lucky recipient. If you have been following this campaign, this would be the perfect time to buy the game at the discount price and receive all the unlocked stretch goals.

Stretch Goal #2 is unlocked!

Thank you to all of our supporters. Canadians, Australians, Indians, Italians, and Colonials will be part of the game.

Solo version update
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 10:52:33 PM

Thanks to your amazing support, MacGowan & Lombardy's THE GREAT WAR will soon be published! In response to your requests, we’ve been developing a solitaire system that will be unpredictable without being entirely random. In one option we’re testing you roll a die to determine which previously created groups of cards will be used for the AI’s opening play—a Jack (a general or field marshal), a Queen (infantry) and a Neutral card, for example—followed by random draws to finish the AI’s two rounds. The solo AI would also provide some nasty surprises using Bonus cards and Jokers. Additional playtesting should help us tweak the mechanics to increase the tension of uncertainty. Please let us know what you think in the Comments below. You made this game possible, and we want your comments and suggestions.

Happy holidays!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped us reach our goal. There are a lot of followers who may have been waiting for this to happen, so now is the time to consider a pledge to help unlock those stretch goals. We will start preparing the art files for the printer so they can begin production soon!
