North & South – Civil War with humor and a comic-book style.

Join the American Civil War as either the Union (North) or the Confederacy (South) in the colorful, quirky North & South. Based on the French comic of the same name (Les Tuniques Bleues), the game blends turn-based strategy with real-time action and plenty of comedy.


Three games in one

North & South stands out from its era with a versatile game structure that gives you three very different modes in a single game:

🎖️ Strategy map: Move your troops across a map of the United States, 1861–1865, and capture territories.
⚔️ Real-time battles: When armies collide, fight short, action-packed skirmishes with infantry, cavalry, and artillery.
🚂 Mini-games: Assault enemy forts or trains in side-scrolling sequences packed with traps and humor.


Plenty of charm and variety

The game is known for its visual humor, comic-inspired graphics, and quirky animations. Soldiers sneeze, get struck by lightning, and are kidnapped by Native Americans—and it’s all delivered with good-natured irony that makes it a joy for both kids and adults.

You can play against the computer or a friend in local multiplayer, making it perfect for quick, fun sessions.
