THE GREAT HUNGER: Ireland's Tragedy in the 19th Century

1-COM5003

Game of 2-5 players that represent families of tenant farmers and field hands. Players use events on the top half of cards to expand their family across the map. When the blight arrives, players use the events on the bottom half to save as many as they can, finding them aid or employment in Ireland, or scrambling to ports to secure passage to America. When the blight finally abates, the family with the largest surviving population across Ireland and America will be deemed the winner.
