This is done through a series of reenactments of historical events from the landing of the Pilgrims through the American Revolution User review: Players start the game with an Identity Card. This tells the player who that person is during the game and what victory conditions must be met in order to win: the number of Signature Cards, bounty units and amount of money. Players also start with $5000 and a pawn on Independence Hall. In turn, players will roll the dice and follow the instructions on whatever space the pawn lands.
