Step into the tumultuous year of 1861, when civil strife engulfs America. In this chaotic landscape, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis fiercely compete for the very soul of the nation.

Welcome to Border States, a compelling tactical game designed to immerse you in a gripping struggle that intertwines political strategy and military prowess. Your mission? Achieve decisive victories to sway the pivotal Border States: Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and West Virginia. These states teeter on the edge, their allegiance fiercely sought by both the Confederacy and the Union.

The outcome of the conflict rests not only on the battles you choose to fight but also on the delicate dance of political influence. In Border States, players command one side, deploying cunning tactics and engaging in strategic bluffing to outmaneuver their opponents. Will you uncover your enemy's intentions and outsmart them to rally the Border States to your cause?

Designed for two players, this game promises an intense 45 minutes filled with anticipation and challenge. Victory can be claimed in two thrilling ways: seize control of enough State tokens for an instant win, or accumulate the most victory points by the end of five dynamic rounds.

Your choices and tactics will shape the future of a nation. Prepare for the ultimate test of strategy and wits in Border States, where every move can alter the course of history!
