US History - Game Project (1865 – 1991)

Board Games have been played in most cultures and societies throughout history. Games are played for enjoyment but many also have an educational component. For this project, you are to research a specific historical period or event between the years 1865 – 1991 and create a board game based on your research. The game you create can be modeled after an existing game, but should be based on original research. You may work alone or in a group of 2 to 3 students.

Your grade for this project will be based on the quality of your research, the game you create and your presentation of your game to the class. Along with the game, you will hand in a one page summary of your project that highlights what you researched and explains how it is reflected in your product.
