Class War is the a two-player, asymmetric strategy game where you play as a collective entity: a social class — either the Capitalists or the Workers. You’ll fight for social dominance in an unstable constitutional democracy. Will the Capitalists crush this rising wave of popular discontent and entrench their position as masters of society? Or will the Workers triumph over the power of money to make society more equal and just?
I created an original board game titled Class War for Jacobin based on democratic socialist theory. I had never designed a board game before starting out on this project. After scrapping the first couple ideas, I eventually began honing a prototype of what would become the published game.
Class War had a very successful kickstarter response, receiving funding more than four times our initial goal.
