The Toledo War, a card game about the 1835-36 border dispute between the State of Ohio and the Territory of Michigan. This conflict is quite obscure, and even Michiganders and Ohioans are unlikely to regard it as more than a piece of trivia. Each round three cards are played to gain political influence and achieve your state's goals. The cards are based on real historical people and events. This is the fourth of Hollandspiele's annual holiday mini-games, packed in as a free promotional item on any order of at least two games during their 2019 December sale. Afterward, it will be made available for purchase as a downloadable PNP game. —user summary
