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.)

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

Where Cards Go

Class cards 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.

Alliances are likewise common to all players.

Winning

A player wins when they fulfill all the following conditions:

  • they have at least three goals in play.
  • 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.

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.

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.
