Stop the Presses

Philadelphia, July 1776. You are the printer of this city's boldest broadsheet. Dispatches pour into your shop — riders from New-York, letters from the South, whispers off the wharves. Most are true. Some were written in a British officer's tent, planted to poison the cause and ruin your name.

Each edition brings five dispatches. PRINT what sells, HOLD what smells, and spend your two investigation tokens wisely — your riders can check a story, but ink and time are dear. Print the truth and your circulation soars. Print a British plant and Philadelphia will know you for a fool — or worse.
