From the Boardgamegeek Description:



Lincoln is a fast-paced, light, two-player, card-driven strategy wargame set in the American Civil War that allows you to re-fight the entire American Civil War at a strategic level in under two hours.

Game play uses point-to-point movement and area control, hidden army strengths, and decks of cards providing the command choices and luck; there are no dice. The Union and Confederate players each have their own card decks, reflecting the relative strengths and weaknesses of both sides. The Union player must do all the running to win the game by the time they have cycled through the Union card deck for the third time, having accumulated the required amount of victory points by capturing Confederate controlled areas, as well as squeezing the Confederate player with a naval blockade. The Confederate player must hold on and thwart the North's victory ambitions to win!

Each time the decks are cycled, the Union player adds some better quality cards, becoming stronger as the game progresses, where as the Confederate player adds lower quality cards, becoming weaker. The underlying game mechanism is one of "deck destruction" rather than the more normal deck-building.

Cards have multiple uses and can be recycled if used one way but during the course of the game you have to decide which cards are going to be permanently sacrificed from your deck cycle to allow you to build units.

Regarding this workshop subscription:

There is no scripting implemented. Upon loading, the full game is set up and ready to play. The draw decks are in Randomization zones so you will be prompted to hit OK upon the game loading. The cards you add after running through your draw pile are separated out into the 'I' and 'II' piles and are marked accordingly.

This took a good while to get into the workshop since there was a good deal of scanning and cleanup involved. I apologize that the board is not perfect, but my photoshop skills are that of a dabbler at best ;)



BGG contributor Christianv's very nice Rules Summary is included for your reference.

This is fun game! It has very simple rules. This is still available to purchase on the publisher's web site and is a great deal for a good game! So for a face to face game, please consider picking this up!

If there are any suggestions for making the workshop module better please let me know. Have fun and stay safe!
