This is a fantastic title. I have the first edition with the older block decals and love playing it. I intend to purchase the newer decals which are very well done. I think this is a great starter game for newer war gamers. Columbia Games make some of the best block games on the market.

O.K., I’m bumping this up to a 10. My friend and I just played our 23rd game and it was one of the best games we ever played.

The original block game which though simpler than later implementations provides real dilemmas for the players. One summer this game proved worthy of plenty of replays.

I played this recently and it substantially exceeded expectations. Short, simple tense – I was really taken with it, and I’m not sure why I hadn’t been before. I like the simultaneous orders, I think they work very well with minimal hassle, the bluffing and hidden information works as well here as in any Columbia game, the 16 turns makes for some time pressure, and the two sides play differently.

What is Quebec 1759?

Quebec 1759 is a small, simple and short block board-wargame covering the conflict between the British and the French in Canada during the French and Indian War. The game comes with a gorgeous map drawn in the style of the period. Movement is conducted via a point-to-point system following the roads and towns in the area around Quebec. The game comes with handfuls of blocks to represent the British and French units.
