Deal or Duel: An Alexander Hamilton Card Game






Deal or Duel: An Alexander Hamilton Card Game by Clarkson Potter. 2017 Recommended for older children, teens, and adults.




If you have older children or teach teens who love all things Alexander Hamilton, try this boxed card game. A large folded game board provides structure and places to put the "Debtors' Prison", card piles for action and discards, and money, "The Treasury", Around the edges are footsteps to pace the "Dueling Ground" as skirmishes happen.. A separate page identifies the personalities of the times; they are multicultural and diverse in careers.. You can win like a Democratic-Republican or a Federalist so players really learn a great deal about the people and the Constitution while playing. It takes awhile to get the rules right in your head, but perseverance pays for dedicated players!  The small box easily fits into a beach bag and parts are well constructed. I received this from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
