Deal or Duel: An Alexander Hamilton Card Game Review

So I know I JUST did a review on a comic book based off of Alexander Hamilton last time post, but hear me out. Hamilton as a card game! Ok, so I know you might be thinking I might have a slight obsession with one founding father, but it's not my fault! Blame Lin Manuel Miranda for this! Without the musical I wouldn't have know how boss Hamilton was. That kind of says something about our school system, doesn't it?

This game right here is so cool! It's like Monopoly but for founding fathers! The cards are designed really well and the premise of the game is really fun! So basically what you have to do is try to break the bank before the other players-- or die trying. This game not only puts your financial skills to work, but also your dueling skills.

There is this really cool tip guide on the back of the rule book. It's giving you tips on how to play and win like a Democratic-Republican or Federalist.  Which I think is super neat cause you learn about it in history and government, but this way you can kind of experience it first hand.

Out of all these positives there is only one negative: the board in which you play on is made out of paper. I wish it was something stronger, but other than that this is a A+ game, and teachers should let kids play it in class.

I give this gave 4.5 ten dollar founding fathers without fathers out of 5!




*I received this game for free in exchange for this review
