Navajo Wars from GMT Games is a solitaire, card-driven war game representing the fight of the Navajo tribe to maintain independence in North America from the 1500s to the 1800s. The game is divided in to three periods, which can be played as separate scenarios—with the Spanish, Mexicans, and Americans as the subjugating powers—or combined for a longer campaign.
Winning Navajo Wars requires advancing on both military and culture tracks with careful allocation of family unit action points to move, raid, plant and harvest, or trade.
Cultural Development cards (such as Horsemanship) can be purchased at the cost of culture points but confer special abilities. Wooden cubes drawn from a bag represent the results of a raid—various colors for horses, enemy soldiers, slaves, sheep, etc.
