==Special Rules==
==Special Rules==


===Goal Cards===
==Actions, Things and Goals==
At the start of the game, the 16 goal cards (with the black, red, and blue titles), should be taken out of the deck and shuffled. Each player should be dealt one goal card. The goal cards should then be shuffled in with the rest of the deck. Each player keeps their goal card face up in front of them. Players may play a goal card from their hand, replacing their existing goal card. If a player acheives their goal when it isn't their turn, they don't win until the start of their turn (and by the time their turn starts they might not have acheived their goal any more). Thus there can never be a situation where two or more players win. There are two copies of each goal card, and players may have the same goal at the same time.
Goal cards are a seperate group to both Things and Actions. Instead of the usual rule of one Thing and one Action per turn, you may play two cards a turn, of different types (ie one Goal and one Action, one Action and one Thing, or one Thing and one Goal).
 
===Where Cards Go===
Things are placed in the middle of the table and effect every player. Goal cards are placed in front of players and effect only that player.
 
===Winning===
A player wins when they fulfill all the following conditions:
 
* they have at least three goals in play. If a player has two identical goals, they only count as one for the purposes of this rule.
* the conditions on all of their goal cards are met.
* they do not have both capitalist and anarchist goals. You may win with either of these types of goal, but not both.
 
===Discarding Goal Cards===
When a player plays a goal card, they may discard up to two goal cards that they previously had in play (but they don't have to).


===Alliances===
===Alliances===
Alliance cards represent what allies the Workers and Capitalists have at any given time. There are four social groups - Peasants, Self-Employed, Professionals and Students. Each of the four may be neutral, may support the Capitalists, or may support the Workers. Alliance cards apply to all players, not just the person who played them. There should be one space for Alliance cards rather than players playing them in front of themeselves. Generally, when a player plays an Alliance card they should discard any card which contradicts it. The exceptions to this rule are the 'Crisis' and 'neutrality' cards, which affect a number of different alliances. Part of these cards may be contradicted by a card which affects only 1 social group. The 'Crisis' or 'Neutrality' card should be placed under the new card to indicate that it remains in affect where it is not superceded by the new card.
There are four 'intermediate classes': Students, Peasants, Self-Employed and Professionals. Each class must be one of the following: neutral, allied with capitalists, or allied with workers. At the start of the game, all four are neutral. Alliances are common to all players.


===Class Cards===
===Class Cards===
Class cards represent different social groups. They do not represent the numbers of people in the different social groups, rather they represent the political power of different classes at different times. You may play Class cards in front of yourself or another player.

Class Struggle
Designer James Hutchings
Date 20th March 2004
Players 2+
This is an untested deck. Its cards are complete, but it hasn't yet been tested.
To play Dvorak: Draw five cards each and leave the rest as a draw pile. On your turn, draw a card from the draw pile and play one Thing and/or one Action. (See the full rules.)

Padlock.gif
This deck is locked. Further cards should not be added - leave feedback on the talk page.

Players attempt to achieve their favoured social system. Based loosely on the board game of the same name.

Special Rules

Actions, Things and Goals

Goal cards are a seperate group to both Things and Actions. Instead of the usual rule of one Thing and one Action per turn, you may play two cards a turn, of different types (ie one Goal and one Action, one Action and one Thing, or one Thing and one Goal).

Where Cards Go

Things are placed in the middle of the table and effect every player. Goal cards are placed in front of players and effect only that player.

Winning

A player wins when they fulfill all the following conditions:

  • they have at least three goals in play. If a player has two identical goals, they only count as one for the purposes of this rule.
  • the conditions on all of their goal cards are met.
  • they do not have both capitalist and anarchist goals. You may win with either of these types of goal, but not both.

Discarding Goal Cards

When a player plays a goal card, they may discard up to two goal cards that they previously had in play (but they don't have to).

Alliances

There are four 'intermediate classes': Students, Peasants, Self-Employed and Professionals. Each class must be one of the following: neutral, allied with capitalists, or allied with workers. At the start of the game, all four are neutral. Alliances are common to all players.

Class Cards

Class cards represent different social groups. They do not represent the numbers of people in the different social groups, rather they represent the political power of different classes at different times.
