The host will be there to assist, but we do expect all players to have a basic understanding of the gameplay and rules.
Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory is a deep, asymmetric strategy board game where two to four players simulate the social classes and government of a modern nation.
- Working Class: Controls standard workers, fights for better wages, and relies on public welfare and healthcare.
- Capitalist Class: Owns large companies, hires workers, produces goods, and tries to make a profit while paying low taxes.
- Middle Class: Combines both worlds by working jobs, running smaller businesses, and striving for personal prosperity.
- The State: Acts as the government, collects taxes, provides public services, and tries to keep the national budget balanced.
Core Gameplay
- Asymmetric Design: Each faction has completely different rules, goals, and card decks.
- Policy Voting: Players vote on national laws like taxation, foreign trade, and labor rules.
- Economic Balance: Every action affects the overall economy, creating a web of supply, demand, and political tension.
We will be playing on BGA, so please set up a free account before the session if you don't already have one. https://en.boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=hegemony
