Class War: The Jacobin Board Game (Pre-Order)
Class War is currently available for pre-order. It will ship by December 8th, and will arrive to US customers in time for Christmas. If you order another product that you want to ship immediately, please order it separately.
Class War is a humorous and competitive strategy game for two players. Lead the Workers, fighting for the radical idea that everyone should be able to afford to live. Or play as the Capitalists, defending the time-honored principle that having lots of money should entitle you to even more money. Each side has its own deck, strengths, and tactics, giving you two distinct ways to play.
Class War comes with two levels: learn the ropes in the introductory game, then raise the stakes with advanced play, where passing political demands changes the rules in your favor.
Originally published by Jacobin, a leading voice of the American left, and now returning through a partnership with The TESA Collective, Class War brings colorful characters, political humor, and class struggle to your game night.
2 Players | 45 - 60 Minutes
Your ambitions are grand. Your resources, unfortunately, are limited. Each turn, decide how to spend your money, which allies to recruit, and when to challenge your opponent. Do you have enough support to win an election, or should you strengthen your position in the workplaces first? Even a righteous cause needs good timing.
Two classes. Two different ways to wield power. Each side has its own deck of cards, tactics, and advantages. Organize workers and build solidarity, or put your wealth and influence to work protecting the interests of the owning class. The next time you play, switch sides for a different strategic challenge.
The struggle unfolds in workplaces and the halls of government. Lead strikes for higher wages as the Workers, or replace workplaces to boost profits as the Capitalists. Then take the fight into elections, where both sides compete to put their figures in office. Can you win control of government and finally get a politician to do something useful?
Start with the introductory level to learn the game and jump into the struggle. When you’re ready, the advanced level adds Demands: fight to turn your class’s political agenda into law, changing the rules in your favor as you play. With two levels of play, Class War welcomes new players while giving experienced strategists more to explore.
