About the game
On September 20, 1835, the longest and bloodiest revolution in Brazil's history began. In the province of São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul, a Riograndense Republic was proclaimed. For nearly 10 years, the troops that remained loyal to the Empire of Brazil fought epic battles against those of the new Republic! "Farrapos" is a board game for 2 players created by Julio Trois, which has the theme of the Farroupilha Revolution. During 11 rounds each army will win the largest number of cities, adding up the maximum points possible. "Farrapos" is a tactical game, where military strategy is very important. Each player must organize his troops, composed of tiles of infantry, cavalry and artillery. The clashes follow the style of the best wargames, using dice and tables, for the resolution of battles.
