Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory

Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory invites you to dive into a captivating socio-political universe where the fate of a fictional state teeters on the brink of collapse. Designed for 2-4 players, this asymmetric and intellectually stimulating card-driven board game challenges you to navigate a society grappling with class warfare and economic tensions.

As the nation faces imminent turmoil, each class is fighting its own battles:

• The Working Class struggles against a weakened welfare system.
• The Capitalist Class watches as their profits begin to evaporate.
• The Middle Class finds itself shrinking, caught in the middle.
• The State digs deeper into financial deficits.

In the midst of this chaos, the choice of allegiance is crucial. Will you align with the Working Class in their quest for vital social reforms? Or will you advocate for the Capitalist Class and champion free-market ideals? Perhaps you’ll navigate the delicate balance of the Middle Class, or strive for the State to maintain a fragile peace among competing factions.

Each faction in Hegemony is equipped with its own distinct roles and objectives:

• The Working Class rallies the workforce.
• The Capitalist Class manages corporations.
• The Middle Class balances small businesses while supporting labor rights.
• The State endeavours to satisfy all factions with careful benefits and subsidies, all while dodging financial disaster.

The game revolves around pivotal policies such as Taxation, Labor Market, and Foreign Trade. Your strategic voting and savvy influence are vital for guiding your chosen group toward victory. Engage in clever political maneuvering and meticulous planning to elevate your class and assert your agenda.

With foundations rooted in real-world theories ranging from Social-Democracy to Neoliberalism, Hegemony offers an intriguing exploration of socio-economic dynamics and their profound effects. With multiple paths to victory, the ultimate question is: will you rise to lead your class to triumph?
