Learn how to play "Free At Last" by Ted Torgerson and Damon Stone (Dietz Foundation, 2022) Timestamps: 00:58 Intro 03:07 Tutorial Start 08:18 Project Phase 10:20 Commitment Phase 15:30 Challenge Phase 15:42 Direct Action Phase 22:11 Recovery Phase 27:24 Final Thoughts CORRECTION on Leader & Local Figures capabilities: The Direct Action phase is "threaded" which is to say each player takes a turn going through the 3 steps: Mutual Aid, We Shall Overcome, and Reprisal, and then it becomes the next player's turn, and this keeps going until every player has cleared a stage AND chosen to pass, completed their project, or the project has failed. Each "cycle" through is a turn, each Leader, local figure, etc. can use their ability, if applicable, once each time.

About Free at Last, from BoardGameGeek:

In this game you will take on the role of one of six civil rights organizations, the Student Non-violent Co-ordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced "Snick"), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund Inc. (LDF or "the Inc. Fund"), or the Liberal Coalition in the Congress (the LIBS). The game consists of three Turns, representing the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson Administrations. In each Turn, the players will work on Projects to desegregate schools (S Projects), integrate public accommodations (A Projects) and register Blacks to vote (V Projects). The mechanics for each type of Project is different, but all involve playing cards from the players' hands to mobilize protesters and conduct protests. Through protesting, the players will score VPs through collecting cubes. However, for each card played the player must add a reinforcement of segregationist cubes, and challenges will arise that the players must work together to overcome. The player with the most VPs wins the game. The original rulebook that was issued with the 2022 publication of the game has been completely replaced in 2025 and is available for download in the files section of BoardGameGeek. The current rules are for 1-4 players, with a separate rule book for 5- and 6- player games.
