Fort Sumter: Secession Crisis is a captivating iPhone game developed by Playdek Inc. that allows players to delve into the historic events leading to the American Civil War. Players can choose to take on the role of either a Unionist or Secessionist, each with the objective of either preserving or dissolving the Union.

The game employs a Card Driven Game (CDG) system, designed by Mark Herman, which adds depth and strategy to the gameplay. As players navigate the political landscape, they must strategically place, move, and remove political capital to control the four crisis dimensions: Political, Secession, Public Opinion, and Armaments.

Fort Sumter: Secession Crisis offers various gameplay options, including an immersive voice-over and audio that recreates the sounds of that era. Players can enjoy offline play against an AI opponent or engage in online gameplay with either asynchronous or real-time 2-player matches. The game also supports pass-and-play multiplayer for local games.
