“Come on lads! Let us see how you will deal with these militiamen!” –US Brigadier General Leonard Covington’s last words to his men during the attack at Chrysler’s Farm.
A Brilliant Affair is an easy to learn/teach game on the battle of Chrysler's Farm. Outnumbered nearly by nearly two to one, the British, Canadian and First Nations force inflicted a stunning defeat upon the invading US force led by General James Wilkenson, one of the most inept and corrupt military leaders in US history.
Players use cards to activate their units/formations and six sided die to play the very interactive and competitive game. A Brilliant Little Affair is the debut title in a series of games on battles fought over control of Canada during the War if 1812.
