Dixie: Bull Run

About this board game

Dixie: Bull Run is a two-player collectible card game about the Battle of Bull Run, with games lasting approximately 60 minutes.

Players gather armies and fight over three positions. Cards represent infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, artillery batteries, participating generals, terrain, and the special events that are an ever-present part of the battle.

The game’s cards give the conflict its visual identity. Uniform colors and styles depict the uniforms that the regiments actually wore, according to the designers, while all artwork and graphics in the Dixie series were created by RPG and historical artist Eric Hotz.

Dixie: Bull Run is part of a collectible card series with flat rarity. The original set contains 200 cards and represents the Battle of Bull Run. Later sets expand the series to other major Civil War battles: a 400-card set for Shiloh and a 250-card set for Gettysburg.

Released in 1994, the game combines military units, commanders, battlefield terrain, and changing events in a compact historical card-game format. Its detailed period-inspired presentation and battle-focused card set make it a distinctive entry in the Dixie series.
