Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory

Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory

The Nation is in turmoil and a war between the classes is being waged. The working class faces a broken welfare system, the capitalists are losing their hard-earned profits, the middle class is gradually fading and the state is sinking into a deep deficit. Amid all this chaos, the only one who can give you guidance is… you. Will you take the side of the working class and fight for social reforms? Or will you stand on the side of business and the free market? Will you help the government try to hold it all together, or will you try to impose your agenda regardless of the cost to the country?

Hegemony is an asymmetric political-economic, card-based board game for 2-4 players that puts you in the role of one of the socioeconomic 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 class. It has workers who can work in capitalist companies, but it can also create its own companies, though smaller. Finally, the state tries to keep them all satisfied by providing benefits and subsidies when needed, but it also tries to maintain a steady income through taxes so as not to go into debt.

While players have their own separate goals, they are all constrained by a set of policies that affect most of their actions, such as taxation, the labor market, foreign trade, etc. Voting on these policies and using your influence to change them is also very important. Through careful planning, strategic actions, and political maneuvers, you will do your best to increase your class's power and carry out your agenda. Will you be the one to lead your class to victory?

Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory is largely based on real academic principles such as Social Democracy, Neoliberalism, Nationalism and Globalization and allows players to see their real-world applications through an exciting game. There are many ways to achieve hegemony – which will you choose?
