Bloc by Bloc: Uprising

Prepare for a Revolution! In Bloc by Bloc: Uprising, players take on the roles of passionate factions of revolutionaries—Workers, Students, Neighbors, or Prisoners—uniting to challenge the police in a dynamic city that evolves with every game session. Your mission? Build barricades, confront the police, occupy key districts, loot shopping centers, establish mutual aid networks, and liberate the city before the military arrives to quell your uprising!

Objective of the Game: Engage in full cooperation or delve into semi-cooperative strategies as all factions either thrive or perish together. To achieve liberation, each faction must complete the objectives outlined on one Conditions card, which designates specific districts to be freed and where occupations must be established. In a semi-cooperative game, each faction possesses a secret Agenda card that clarifies its individual victory conditions. Factions with Social Agendas can unite for a common cause, while those with Vanguardist or Sectarian Agendas must strategize discreetly, aiming for personal victory and potentially undermining their allies.

Game Structure: Bloc by Bloc unfolds over rounds, with each round representing one night of action. The countdown marker starts at 10 nights, adding urgency to your undertakings. Each night is divided into two thrilling phases: Nighttime and Sunrise.

Nighttime Phase: This is where the excitement begins! During Nighttime, each faction takes its turn. The action kicks off with the drawing of cards from the Police Ops deck, determining police movement and deployments across the city. With higher Police Morale, more cards are drawn, intensifying the challenge. Factions then roll action dice, utilizing those results to execute various actions throughout the city using their blocs—an organized group of 5-15 revolutionaries!

Sunrise Phase: After every faction has acted, the tension escalates. The Reaction card initiates police attacks and moves police vans around the city. Factions can liberate districts and earn Liberation cards if they have the necessary blocs present. Additionally, there may be opportunities to gather more Conditions cards during meetings. And don’t forget to check if victory has been achieved! If the time runs out or any single faction loses all of its blocs in the city, it’s game over for everyone!

Join the uprising and lead your faction to victory in Bloc by Bloc: Uprising—a game of strategy, collaboration, and thrilling action!
