Civil+War+Outline


 * Civil War Outline:**

1. My Game is going to be like Candy Land but instead of the original obstacles, the obstacles will be the different battles. Unlike candy land, my game will have cards at each battle with question that the player must answer. The question will ask something about the battle like where it took place, when, who won, or who led the battle on both sides.

2. The game will have up to 4 players at a time like the original game. At most, 2 more players might be added, depending on how well the game comes out.

3. The game pieces will be toy soldiers instead of the original Candy land pieces. There will be at least two Union soldiers and two Confederate. There will be some difference between the two.

4. The object of the game is to get through all of the battles before the other players. There will be at least six battles. There will be different obstacles in the game like the black dot in the original. This might be some kind of penalty that you will receive when you pick up a different type of card.

5. Once you hit a battle, one will have to pick a card and answer a question about that specific battle like who was the commander of the Union during that battle.

6. There will be a number of battles but not all of them.

7. I will be including information about battles like where they took place, the length, and who won. This information will be asked with a question when a card is picked

8. Some materials that will be needed are card board or poster board, toy soldier pieces, markers, construction paper, and index cards.

9. It will look like a board game.
