Name ______Block ______French Revolution Board

With so much happening and so many twists and turns, it is hard not to compare the French Revolution to an awesome history-based board game. Luckily, you get the opportunity to make one!

Your task is to create a board game that is fun to , and teaches players about the French Revolution (even if they don’t know they are learning). Your game should cover the events from the meeting of the Three Estates in 1789 to the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

You may make up an entirely new game or start with an existing game and modify the set up. Some possibilities: • Change a Monopoly board so that the properties and pieces fit the French Revolution and not beachfront gambling towns. • Revisit with revolutionary tracks rather than career choices. • Trivia-based game where number of moves is based on answering questions. • Revise Chutes and Ladders to reflect the changes in France during the Revolution.
