Reception
David Ritchie reviewed Bloodtree Rebellion in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 6 out of 9.[2] Ritchie commented that "if you remove the sf trappings, you have a very accurate treatise on the 'little wars' of our own age. Somewhat complex, but playable within a few hours. Buck Rogers goes to Vietnam."[2]
Keith Gross reviewed Bloodtree Rebellion in The Space Gamer No. 27.[1] Gross commented that "Bloodtree Rebellion is a game to be admired, not played. The political system is innovative and intriguing, the game and background are well-integrated, and guerrilla war is simulated very well. Those interested in these things will find the game interesting. Those who want a game to play over and over should look elsewhere."[1]
