A MORE PERFECT UNION Deluxe 250th Anniversary Edition
Imagine a Constitution written when the air still smelled of revolution — not just one revolution, but two. Imagine Philadelphia in 1789, after the French Revolution made the dream of universal human equality a living political force. Imagine the delegates who might have walked through those doors of Independence Hall if the moment had been seized differently — men and women, Black and white, Native and Spanish, — all of them with something to say about what a republic could truly mean. Imagine the document they might have written.
That document was never written. But it could have been. And in A More Perfect Union, it still can be.
A More Perfect Union is a constitutional sandbox for 2–6 players, built around the great unresolved argument at the heart of the American founding: not merely how to structure a government, but who has the right to govern. Two complete scenarios are included in the box.
In the Historical Convention, you take your place in the stifling Philadelphia summer of 1787, exactly as it happened. The familiar giants are here — Madison, Hamilton, Franklin, Washington — and so are the fault lines that nearly broke the convention before it began: large states against small, North against South, Federalists against those who merely sought to amend the Articles of Confederation. Play the ruthlessly pragmatic politics of the founding as they actually were and compete to shape the Constitution while outmaneuvering your rivals. Only one delegate will be remembered as the Father of the Constitution.
In the Alternative Convention, the calendar reads 1789 and everything is different. The French Revolution has cracked the world open. The slogan of liberty, equality and fraternity is chanted in the streets, and Philadelphia's doors are open to voices the original convention never considered. Free People of Color who bled at Bunker Hill and Yorktown take their seats alongside Spanish Catholic delegates from the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi Valley. Women who financed and sustained the revolution demand their place in the republic they helped build. Native leaders whose alliances made American independence possible sit at the table where their futures will be decided. And facing them all are Patrick Henry, George Mason, and the true Anti-Federalists — men who want no constitution at all, federal or otherwise. The document that emerges from this convention could look nothing like the one history produced. It could be something far greater.
A More Perfect Union utilizes the Founding Father’s system and features stunning new art, premium components worthy of the history they depict, expanded delegate rosters across both scenarios, and a fully redesigned system that honors the landmark design at its heart while opening the doors that design never opened.
The republic was never finished. It still isn't.
For 2–6 players. Ages 12+. 90-120 minutes.
