GM has considerable resources at their disposal, including city authorities, deep pockets, hired thugs, and the sympathies of the press. To force them to make concessions, you’ll need to work together to weather the forces arrayed against you – fending off attempts at eviction, the effects of exhaustion, and the presence of strikebreakers – while occupying factories in the plant complex. Here, the game cleverly subverts the worker placement paradigm: by placing workers, you do not cause actions to take place, but prevent them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"DOMINECxSpLast\"\u003eWith a deck of events each based on a real headline from contemporary reporting, this game for one to five players is both a compelling co-op gaming experience and a meditation on protest and solidarity – themes that are more resonant and important today than they were nearly eighty years ago.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 countersheet\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-page rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 wooden pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e44 cards\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 six-sided die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame design: John du Bois\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGraphic design: Donal Hegarty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHex number: 83\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuration: 60 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers: 1-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolitaire Suitability: High\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: Intro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cooperative Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49296514679006,"sku":"684646292748","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6931\/1966\/files\/striking-flint.webp?v=1793047020","url":"https:\/\/gamelandia.fun\/products\/striking-flint","provider":"Gamelandia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
