Rebel Raiders' 6th Best Game of 2013 - Marco Arnaudo: "I Loved it!"

Rebel Raiders Named 6th Best Game of 2013 by Noted Reviewer Marco Arnaudo

Every January the esteemed and entertaining Marco Arnaudo releases his top ten list of games for the previous year, and Rebel Raiders on the High Seas just won the sixth slot on that prestigious roster.

In his video blog, Arnaudo summed up the purpose and play of the game, and noted that it is "great fun," a "tense game," and one that "does a good job creating opportunities and challenges."  In short, concluded Arnaudo "I loved it!"

Marco explains how he appreciates that as a game focusing on the oft-ignored naval strategy of the conflict, Rebel Raiders allows players to "see the American Civil War from a slightly different angle than you have usually." He also praised the "dramatic richness" of  the "entire experience," of playing the game, which he added "is extremely rich, extremely fascinating."

Armchair General: “Rebel Raiders one of the freshest wargames to hit the scene in a long time” and one gamers will play “again and again”

  
 

A big Rebel Raiders thanks to the legendary Terry Lee Coleman for his very encouraging, in-depth and highly favorable review in the latest issue of Armchair General.

The veteran editor and reviewer has many, many good things to say about the game, including noting that “Not only does it shed light on a sorely neglected aspect of a significant conflict, it does so with verve and insight.  Whether you’re slipping through blockades, dashing past the mines at New Orleans, or pitting a lone ironclad against a group of angry gunboats, you’ll rarely be at a loss for things to do in Rebel Raiders.  More importantly, you will very likely play the game again and again to try some new strategy for winning the Civil War on the waters”
