The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also called Custer's Last Stand, marked the most decisive Native American victory and the worst U.S. Army defeat in the long Plains Indian Wars. Fought on June 25, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in Montana Territory, federal troops led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer were attacked by a band of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. This game is primarily a solitaire game with the player controlling the US 7th Cavalry. If all Indian Leaders OR all 6 villager disks are eliminated, the game ends immediately and the 7th Cavalry are victorious. If either of these happen, the remaining Indians are assumed to surrender and agree to return to their reservation. Otherwise, the Indians have won. A two-player variant is possible with the 2nd person controlling and rolling dice for the Indigenous American forces. Historically this battle was very lopsided, perhaps 600 Cavalry vs. 1,000s of braves. In the game the Cavalry will usually lose. When there are two players consider switching sides after the first game and compare results. The game emphasizes theme and playability rather than strict historical recreation. Playing as the 7th Cavalry you won't know how many enemy units you will face. -description from designer
