Read about
the folks behind Civil Lore!™
- and why we're happy to be doing what we're doing!
Americans
everywhere want to live closer to the roots of our civil society. You
hear it in pleas for the improvement of our
political discourse, calls for the renewed teaching
of civics in our public schools and deepening
interest in the regional arts that preserve our
country’s storied past. As Abraham Lincoln
proclaimed at the onset of America’s civil war,
a house divided cannot stand!
One way our
American house can be sure to stand is for us to
share the fun and intriguing things that unite us –
our stories, urban legends, myths, mysteries,
oddities, tall tales and humor. This board game is
an attempt at just that - a circle of civil
competition in which folks can put differences aside
and celebrate our great Union. So we hope you will join us in
saying: Play Civil, America!
