Description

Come Mr. Osbon, this is not the time for prayer!
--Admiral Farragut, to flag officer Osbon, who was kneeling on the USS Hartford’s main deck preparing a shell fuse during the battle of Forts Jackson and Philip.

No Time For Prayer details the battles for the port and city of New Orleans; Head of Passes and Forts Jackson and St. Philip.

The battles to take control of New Orleans were not easy ones. Can you do as well or better than your historical counterpart?

Players will also need one standard deck of playing cards, a six-sided die and one ten sided die to play the game. A die roll of 0 is read as 10 and not zero.
