Pricey expansion. Don't like the idea that you need to buy the expansion to get the 7th and 8th players.
Pricey but good quality. Good storage, unfortunately didn't fit for the expansion map.

Bundle includes Crisis & Control expansion and Historical Events
The Nation is in disarray and a war is waging between the classes. The working class faces a dismantled 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. Amidst all this chaos, the only person who can provide guidance is... you. Will you take the side of the working class and fight for social reforms? Or will you stand with the corporations and the free market? Will you help the government try to keep it all together, or will you try to enforce your agenda no matter the cost to the country?
Hegemony is an asymmetric politico-economic card-driven board game for 2-4 players that puts you in the role of one of the socio-economic 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. It has workers who can work in the Capitalist's companies but it can also build companies of its own, yet smaller. Finally the State is trying to keep everyone happy, providing benefits and subsidies when needed but trying also to maintain a steady income through taxes to avoid going into debt.
While players have their own separate goals, they are all limited by a series of policies that affect most of their actions, like Taxation, Labor Market, Foreign Trade etc. Voting on those policies and using their influence to change them is also very important. Through careful planning, strategic actions and political maneuvering, you will do your best to increase the power of your class and carry out your agenda. Will you be the one to lead your class to victory?
Hegemony is heavily based on actual academic principles such as Social-Democracy, Neoliberalism, Nationalism and Globalism, and allows players to see their real world applications through engaging gameplay. There are many ways to achieve hegemony- which one will you take?
—description from the publisher
I ordered 2 great new games into my collection: Hegemony and Nucleum. Thank you folks for fast delivery as always!
A great board game with a theme that can be quite intimidating to bring to the table- but is actually quite fun to start playing once you start going.
This game really puts you in the mindset of each faction of politics, even if you don’t generally think that way. Your goals are aligned and deviating from those goals hurts your ability to succeed. Very well made! Can’t wait to add the expansions
Refreshing, amazing... the kind of game you want to replay right after the 1st game.
