Pricey board games

I’ve been a student of the Civil War all my life. Hence the new book. You can’t grow up the descendant of Confederates on both sides of your family and avoid knowing instantly what someone is referring to when they say “the war.” Yankees can ignore it. They won. The defeated never forget. But, much as I’ve enjoyed reading (and writing) about the war and its personalities, I’ve never been a fan of board games for re-fighting the battles. Which is probably why I never imagined that one of them could cost eighty dollars. Gasp.
