*** IMPORTANT READ: items of paper, such as board games, MAY HAVE THE SMELL OF NICOTINE present. These items come from estates and prior owners may have been smokers. While airing the game out, open box, in a fresh area will normally dissipate any tobacco smell completely, we ask that you please consider the possibility of a nicotine smell pre-purchase. Items are photographed and then go directly to the warehouse, thereby having no time to air out pre shipment. ***
About the game (from Manufacturer): The shot heard round the world at Lexington set off more than just another brushfire war in England's scattered dominions. It gave birth to a struggling new nation led by a comparative handful of patriots whose refusal to bow before tyranny set the tone for an American heritage preserved from defeat to this very day. But victory came at high cost.
