Don't Tread on Me: The American Revolution Solitaire Board Game*

Don't Tread On Me is a solo wargame that plays out the American Revolution from the British side. You command the redcoats and their Loyalist allies against a fully self-running George Washington. It is built for players who want a solitaire wargame with real political depth.

What is it about?

Published by White Dog Games and designed by R. Ben Madison, with development by Wes Erni, the game flips the usual perspective on the War of Independence. You lead the British army and the American "Loyalists," while the Continental Congress and Washington's Continental Army are driven by the game system itself. The engine comes from the well-regarded Vietnam Solitaire: Special Edition, carried over to the 18th century.

What makes it stand out

  • Political control of the colonies, not just open battles
  • State loyalty levels that can swing over the course of a game
  • An off-map system that tracks the presence of militia in a battle
  • An AI opponent that acts convincingly without a second player

Who is it for?

If you play alone and enjoy history, strategy, and a bit of bookkeeping, this delivers a rich session. Players who prefer light family fare will likely find the rules load of a classic wargame off-putting.

Conclusion

A thoughtful solitaire wargame for fans of the American Revolution. The mix of politics, shifting loyalties, and a self-directed opponent keeps every game distinct. Not a quick filler, but plenty of reward for a long solo evening.
