Cruel Necessity - The English Civil War 1640 - 1653 Solitaire Board Game by Victory Point Games (2013)

This solitaire game, suitable for group and classroom cooperative game play, tells the story of the English Civil Wars (1640-53) through its key events and decision points.
You attempt to stop the advance of four armies bent on destroying Parliament and Puritanism, whom you represent; simply holding on to London is not enough.

Each of the three English Civil Wars are replayed through the use of separate card decks that recreate the historical military and political events that could spell doom to the Parliamentarian forces.
There are civil wars going on not just in England, but in Scotland and Ireland too; and each will have varying impact on the play of the game at different times.

The title comes from the purported response to the beheading of King Charles by his implacable foe, Oliver Cromwell, who remarked that this act of regicide was a “cruel necessity.”
The Game is for 1 Player,Aged 12 Years to Adult
The Game is Complete and the contents are in Very Good Condition.
The Box is also in Very Good Condition for its Age.
This is a fantastic Game not just for its Game Play but to learn about this Struggle that has shaped British History.
