{{Refimprove|date=March 2008}} {{Infobox_Game | subject_name= Dixie | image_link= | image_caption= | designer= Tom Dalgliesh | publisher= [[Columbia Games]] | players= 2 | ages= 12+ | setup_time= | playing_time= Approx 1 hour | complexity= | strategy= | random_chance= Some | skills= [[Collectible card game|Card playing]]<br>[[Mathematics|Arithmetic]]<br>Basic Reading Ability | footnotes= | bggid=23828 }} '''''Dixie''''' is a [[collectible card game]] that uses dice and special [[trading cards]] to allow players to refight famous [[American Civil War]] battles, such as the battles of [[First Battle of Bull Run|First Bull Run]], [[Battle of Shiloh|Shiloh]], and [[Battle of Gettysburg|Gettysburg]]. It was produced in [[1994 in games|1994]] by [[Columbia Games]] with rules loosely based on its 'wooden block' series of games. ==Game play== Cards have drawings depicting the approximate uniforms that each unit wore at the actual battle. Special cards depict key terrain features, generals, and scenario-related special events (such as rallies, ammunition, morale, etc.). One player uses a deck for the [[Union Army]]; the opponent plays the [[Confederate States Army]] deck. There are four phases to each game turn — Morale, Combat, Move, and Reinforce. ==Game Sets== "Bull Run" was the first ''Dixie'' set issued, and was sold as [[starter packs]] in boxes with 60 random cards (30 from the Union, 30 from the Confederates). Cards represented each [[regiment]], [[Field Artillery in the American Civil War| artillery battery]], or [[general]] present at the battle. The complete set consists of 200 cards. "Shiloh," the second set in the series, is the largest set, with 400 cards. Its cards also depict individual regiments in their approximate uniforms worn at the battle. The third set, "Gettysburg," also was sold in collectible decks of 60 cards (36 Union, 24 Confederate), with a full set having 250 cards. Unlike the other two games, "Gettysburg" is at the [[brigade]] scale, with artillery at the [[battalion]] level. ''Dixie'' cards had, like most other collectable card games, several degrees of rarity. Unusually, rather than label powerful cards 'rare' and restrict their availability, all cards had versions tagged as 'bronze' (common), 'silver' (uncommon), or 'gold' (rare). This did not affect game play in any way - a deck of common cards was as playable as one stuffed with rares{{Fact|date=March 2008}} - but still provided a measure of competitive collecting outside the game. ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== *[http://www.columbiagames.com/resources/3700/dixieunifiedrules.pdf#search='Dixie%20card%20game' Rules for ''Dixie'' from the publisher] *{{bgg|1525|''Dixie - Bull Run''|23828|''Dixie - Gettysburg''|23829|''Dixie - Shiloh''}} [[Category:American Civil War games]] [[Category:Collectible card games]] [[Category:Columbia Games games]]
