Don’t Tread on Me: The American Revolution Solitaire Board Game

About this board game

Don’t Tread on Me: The American Revolution Solitaire Board Game is a strategic-level solitaire simulation for one player, with an approximate play time of 240 minutes.

In this 2014 game from White Dog Games, you play the British side alongside American Loyalist forces. Opposing you are the AI forces of George Washington and the Continental Congress, creating a solo contest set during the American Revolution.

Don’t Tread On Me is based on White Dog Games’ popular Vietnam Solitaire: Special Edition game system. It was designed by R. Ben Madison and developed by Wes Erni, bringing that system to a strategic-level simulation of the Revolutionary War.

Several distinctive mechanisms give the game its own focus:

• Political control represents the struggle for influence during the conflict.
• State loyalty levels can change as the game develops.
• An off-map militia system shows the presence of militia forces in a battle.

These features connect military operations with the shifting political situation, while the solo player manages the British and Loyalist side against the game’s AI-controlled opposition. The changing loyalty levels and off-map militia presence help distinguish this simulation from a straightforward battlefield-only contest.

For players interested in historical solitaire games, Don’t Tread on Me offers a focused American Revolution experience built around political control, evolving state loyalty, and the interaction between forces on and off the battlefield.
