Designed by Kevin McPartland and Jerry Shiles, this 2-5 player game begins in the early 1800s, when Ireland's population flourished thanks to the potato. But when the blight strikes in 1845, players must navigate famine, disease, and desperate choices — finding aid, seeking employment, or booking passage on dangerous \"coffin ships\" to distant shores. Players represent families of tenant farmers and itinerant field hands, using dual-purpose event cards to first grow their population, then scramble to survive the catastrophe. With a 17\" x 22\" mounted map of Ireland, 147 wooden pieces, 65 cards, 5 player mats, a rules booklet, and a six-sided die, the game offers a deeply immersive experience. Rated low in complexity (3 out of 10), it plays in 60-90 minutes. For adults ages 18 and up. Not a toy — contains small parts.","brand":"Little Big Wars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52907936842037,"sku":"CPA 5003","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/8783\/5198\/files\/91_2baw6iicol._ac_sl1500.jpg?v=1779313877","url":"https:\/\/littlebigwars.com\/products\/compass-games-the-great-hunger-irelands-tragedy-in-the-19th-century","provider":"Little Big Wars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
