Product Description

The Nation is in disarray and war rages between divisive classes. The working class face a dismantled welfare system, the capitalists are losing profit, the middle class is fading, and the state is sinking into deep deficit. As chaos surrounds, only one person can provide guidance ...you. Will you take the side of the working class to fight for social reforms? Stand with the corporations and free market? Or assist the government to keep it all together? Enforce your agenda, irrespective of the cost to the country?

Hegemony is an asymmetric politico-economic card-driven board game incorporating 2-4 players. You represent one of the socio-economic groups in a fictional state: The Working Class, the Middle Class, the Capitalist Class, or the State.

• The Working class controls the workers.
• The Capitalist class controls the companies.
• The Middle class blends elements from both the Working class and the Capitalist. It has workers who can work in the Capitalist's companies, but can also create smaller companies.
• The State tries to keep everyone content by providing benefits, subsidies, and a stable income through taxes to prevent debt.

Each player has separate goals, limited by policies such as Taxation, Labor Market, Foreign Trade. Voting on these policies and exerting influence to alter them is crucial. Through planning, strategic action, and political maneuvering, strive to increase your class's power.

Achieving hegemony is possible through various avenues. Hegemony is heavily based on actual academic principles such as Social-Democracy, Neoliberalism, Nationalism, and Globalism. Players experience their real-world applications through immersive gameplay. Will you be victorious?
