Description Edit | History

Newest game from the pair that made 1960: The Making of the President. The goal here is to be the founding father with the most renown at the end of the game, which consists of the making of the US constitution. Players have a hand of delegates that represent a state, defend an issue and have a special ability. A different issue of the constitution is considered each round while players use delegates to either help or go against the issue.

5 One Sheet Founding Father - Version 1.0
Version 1.0 - A single page file which defines the ways victory points are scored and the options players have each turn. The file also contains a brief definition of the game terms which are used on the cards (What’s my Caucus? Which is the Committee Room?) A bonus is included: If you print on both sides of the paper, the reverse contains the text of the US Constitution Bill of Rights. Great for laminating and showing your right to bear arms.

2 Founding Fathers - Card Summary
This is a simple summary, in Excel, of the different Delegate Cards available in Founding Fathers. It is sorted on two separate sheets - first by State, and second by the benefit - or "Power" - that the Delegate provides it's primary benefit. My objective in creating this file is to give new players a sense as to how many cards will be able to impact different aspects of the game. For example, you can see from this inventory that relatively few cards allow a player to add Influence Markers, while a great deal provide immediate scoring. It gives the new player a little bit of background on what to expect so they have a reasonable change against more seasoned players. Users are welcome to modify the file for their own purposes or benefits - enjoy.
