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?

[Carmen Pauls Orthner]

Bryan would like to join the Hegemony game.

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

[Cameron Widger]

Sign me up for Oath

[Carmen Pauls Orthner]

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.

[Jessdshadow]

I can open up the fifth slot.

[Carmen Pauls Orthner]

I can open up the fifth slot.

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

[Connor Archer]
