Both sides have strengths and weaknesses and the flexibility to play 2 to 5 people makes it adaptable to group play. It is a light wargame as conflict is resolved via dice rolls, but the different factions have different dice and cards which can be played to effect the outcome so it is strategic. Can't wait to play the next game in the series '1775: Rebellion' when it is released in late 2013.

Both sides have strengths and weaknesses and the flexibility to play 2 to 5 people makes it adaptable to group play. It is a light wargame as conflict is resolved via dice rolls, but the different factions have different dice and cards which can be played to effect the outcome so it is strategic. Can't wait to play the next game in the series '1775: Rebellion' when it is released in late 2013. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome game *by R***R on October 19, 2025* Awesome game ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic, Light War Game *by W***N on March 3, 2018* 1812: The Invasion of Canada is the first in Academy Games' "Birth of America" series of light war games. Don't let the term 'light' fool you. These games have A LOT of strategy. They play like a mixture of Euro-style 'area control', 'action/card' selection and Ameri-THRASH dice driven combat! Trust me, the mixture of different mechanisms works brilliantly! If you think you don't like war games, you will like these game. If you LOVE war games, you will love these! The only flaw with this game is you spend a lot of time beating up on Canadians (if you're the US player), and it's always hard to beat up on Canadians. They're too nice and polite, and I feel sad whenever I crush one of their armies or capture one of their cities. ;) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5392707-1812-the-invasion-of-canada](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5392707-1812-the-invasion-of-canada) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
