Bushwhack
"Bushwhack" is a fast-paced casual game for Windows with an educational element based on the American Civil War. The game is primarily geared for middle-school aged children, but can be played by all age groups.
"Bushwhack" follows the adventures of two young scouts during the American Civil War (1864), as they attempt to recover gold from three lost caches. The scouts, Benjamin and Tobias, lead their scouting party through the fictional Wilderness Territory's three regions. The race is on to gather more gold than the competition and capture the region. Along the way, they not only must protect themselves from the dangers of the wild, but also protect the troops accompanying them. At their disposal are makeshift traps, to slow and frustrate their opponent...and if they are not careful, themselves. However, the forest is full of other dangers to avoid, including rattlesnakes and wolves.
Choose the Confederacy or the Union and see if you have what it takes to capture the Wilderness before your opponent in the this short and exciting adventure.

Bottom Line: Very educational and fun. The graphics are bright and attractive. Controls are intuitive and the game play fast yet easy to learn. Great game for school children or adults who want to learn a little something about the Civil War while having fun.
The game allows for you to employ strategy based on if you are more offensive or defensive minded. Do you try to gather as much gold as possible and ignore the computer player or do you set up traps to try to eliminate the enemy scouting party. The game is short, but you can play many times over and still be stimulated. Perfect for a classroom environment, where time is limited and students lose interest fast. Learning Curve: Takes a second
