Description
Freedom! is a siege game, a test of will, endurance, and tactics between the besieged Freedom Fighters and the besieging Imperial Forces, who have come to crush the rebellion. This universal contest is presented through a dramatic history of the siege of a Greek Holy City (Messolonghi) by Ottoman forces during the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829).
The battle takes place on two maps: one showing the city itself nad the forces involved in the siege, and one showing the surrounding areas, highlighting the support that each of them provides to both players.
Freedom! features asymmetrical play. The goal of the invading forces is to get inside the city before the end of the game, or to force the citizens to abandon the cause by dropping their morale to zero. The defenders, on the other hand, try to withstand the siege and protect the city long enough for the invaders to abandon their attempt either by deciding to leave on their own or by having their morale drop to zero. The actions of the players are drive by the cards in their hands, which highlight the actual events and personalities of that time, while the combat is dice-driven to allow for quick and exciting gameplay.
