GAME: Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory
TEACHER: Derek C.
START TIME: 6:30pm
DURATION: 4 hours
# OF PLAYERS: 2-4
URL: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/321608/hegemony-lead-your-class-victory

This seems like a great night to bring out this new gem:

Hegemony is an asymmetric politico-economic card-driven board game for 2-4 players that puts you in the role of one of the socio-economic groups in a fictional state: The Working Class, the Middle Class, the Capitalist Class and the State itself.

The Working class controls the workers. The Capitalist class controls the companies. The Middle class combines elements from both the Working class and the Capitalist. It has workers who can work in the Capitalist's companies but it can also build companies of its own, yet smaller. Finally the State is trying to keep everyone happy, providing benefits and subsidies when needed but trying also to maintain a steady income through taxes to avoid going into debt.

While players have their own separate goals, they are all limited by a series of policies that affect most of their actions, like Taxation, Labor Market, Foreign Trade etc. Voting on those policies and using their influence to change them is also very important. Through careful planning, strategic actions and political maneuvering, you will do your best to increase the power of your class and carry out your agenda. Will you be the one to lead your class to victory?

Hegemony is heavily based on actual academic principles such as Social-Democracy, Neoliberalism, Nationalism and Globalism, and allows players to see their real world applications through engaging gameplay. There are many ways to achieve hegemony- which one will you take?

Bryan would like to join the Hegemony game.

Sara and I will also be coming, but I'll wait and see on game options for the two of us.

Caverna base game. I am going to cap the game at 4 players, but may allow 5 if there is enough interest. Game play may be longer with a 5th player

I'll sign up for Caverna! Excited to finally try that one!

I will dive into Caverna.

I'll play Caverna! :)

Paladins of the West Kingdom and Power Grid were added to the scheduled games and are open for sign-ups.

Sign me up for Oath

If anyone drops out from Caverna, please let me know - I missed the sign-up for it. :( Or if you'd be open to 5 players, that would be great.

I can open up the fifth slot.

: Jessdshadow  Jul 06, 2023, 20:37I can open up the fifth slot.

That would be excellent - thanks, Jessica! Off to do some rules reading/video viewing!

I can make it. I don't know what game to sign up for because none of these I remember playing.

I will join Paladins of the West Kingdom.

I really like Watergate! I'm committed already for this week, but I'd play that some other night. :) I've only played twice - once as the Editor and once as Nixon - and lost both times, but that hasn't stopped me from appreciating the game.
