Hegemony

Hegemony is an asymmetrical political and economic card-driven board game for 2-4 players that recreates modern society from the perspective of different classes, each representing a multi-layered structure of society.

Game Overview

Each player takes on the role of one of four socio-economic groups in a fictional nation: the working class, the middle class, the capitalist class, or the state.

• Working class players manage workers and earn a living through employment.
• The capitalist class runs businesses and pursues profits.
• The middle class combines both elements, having workers who work in capitalist enterprises but also able to set up smaller businesses of their own.
• Players taking on the role of a nation must balance all classes by properly distributing benefits and subsidies and maintaining a stable income through tax revenue.

Game setting

The nation in which the game is set is in turmoil, with conflicts arising between different classes.

• The working class faces the collapse of the welfare system;
• The capitalist class suffered from declining profits,
• The middle class is slowly losing power,
• The country is suffering from a serious budget deficit.

Player Choice

In these tense situations, players will be forced to make important decisions as leaders of their ranks.

• Promoting social reform?
• Will they take a pro-business stance?
• Or will they cooperate with the state to maintain the status quo?
• Or will they push through their own agenda at the expense of other classes?

Game mechanics

Each player has their own goals, but their actions are constrained by a set of policies related to taxation, the labor market, foreign trade, and more.

Voting on these policies and using your influence to change them is also very important.

Through careful planning, strategic action, and political maneuvering, players will seek to strengthen the power of their class and realize their agenda.

Game Features

What's unique about "Hegemony" is that it is based on real academic principles such as social democracy, neoliberalism, nationalism, and globalism.

Through the theme of economic education, you can experience how these principles apply in the real world through engaging gameplay.

Game mechanics

Game mechanics include actions/events, hand management, simulation, variable player power, and voting.

Combined, these create asymmetrical, highly interactive, and thematically rich gameplay.

The recommended age is 14 years and older, and the minimum play time is 90 minutes.

Game Design

Hegemony is designed to be a deep and intuitive state simulation and has been developed in consultation with academics.

Through this game, you will develop your strategic thinking and negotiation skills while gaining a deeper understanding of the structure of modern society and the interrelationships between different classes.

This is an ambitious work that offers a new perspective for those interested in social science and those who love asymmetric games.
