The Battle of Little Bighorn (Scimitar Games Group)
Great Sioux War | 28mm scale

Can Custer escape, or is his fate already sealed? Marking the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Little Bighorn, this participation game offers a fresh take on one of the most famous engagements of the American Indian Wars. Based on the classic 1964 Waddingtons board game, it places players in a dramatic “what if?” scenario rather than attempting to recreate the historical battle fought on 25–26 June 1876.

As Custer and his men face overwhelming opposition, players must decide whether to fight their way to safety with the regimental colours or attempt to strike at the Native American leadership. Every decision could determine whether the officers survive or fall on the battlefield. With straightforward rules and space for one to three players, this is an ideal opportunity to take part in an exciting, fast-moving game while discovering a unique tabletop adaptation of a classic board game.

We’d like to thank Scimitar Wargames Group for bringing this game to the show.
