Great playthrough, thanks for doing it. There was a potential rules misplay based on what's posted on the Kickstarter page. From page 28, under the State's Scoring Phase - "discard those cards along with all the uncollected resources and money in the State Benefits areas." In this playthrough the stuff in the State Benefits areas built up from round to round. I think it's an interesting game mechanic that allows the state to get the benefit for putting the resources there and requires the class players to spend an action to collect the benefits before the end of the round. However, in this playthrough I think that Edward was the only one to actually collect anything from it, so I'm wondering if the benefits aren't sufficient to drive the class players to spend an action to collect. In this game, the economy seemed to be roaring, so that may have been the issue and the state benefits would be a better deal for the players when resources and money are tighter.

@earthen105 2 жыл бұрын

I think that's a potential rule change, but I don't know yet. There was some discussion elsewhere on bgg that the State putting the benefits out during its last round was not good for the classes, as they had no time to collect their stuff before the round ended, given that the state acts last.

@vbagiartakis 2 жыл бұрын

Having the State Benefits remain there from round to round is actually a rule change that we are considering and we have already done some tests on. We just didn't want to upload that version of the rules without having fully tested it. It is definitely on our to-do list though :)

@@alyssagambone5544 you seemed to play quite a few cards face down? Do you feel the cards are too weak, or the other actions are too strong? Or it just worked out that way?

@alyssagambone5544 2 жыл бұрын

@@RichieDcik The card actions are pretty good. But a number of them were things like 'buy healthcare from the state for 1/2 cost', and the state didn't have enough to bump prosperity, so it was better to use the standard buy action to free up the production and then supplement that with full price from the state. Since the middle class can't use the goods it produces to bump prosperity until it sells them to itself, 2 of my 6 actions every round felt forced to 'buy education' and 'buy healthcare. Add in a couple of extra shifts and having to open 4-6 companies over the course of the game, it's a lot of standard actions. I'd honestly love to see an action card that let you sell all goods (or at least 3 types of good) from the middle class production storage to themselves only, just to help with the action efficiency.

@alyssagambone5544 2 жыл бұрын

Part of the lack of healthcare was Derek privatizing the hospital though --- so maybe that was a 'this game' thing than a standard middle class thing.

couple of thoughts. Trade deals traditionally increase global freedom of capital, but there's no reason you can't have deals that increase global freedom of labour as well. Some trade deals even do that too (like Australia has proposed a trade deal with the UK that includes increased freedom for workers in the UK to work in Australia and vice versa). So there should be the ability to allow workers to leave the country easier as well as allowing them to enter the country; migration out of the country should not be limited to an action card. Given that migration is nationalism and globalism, then having it in high globalism should just mean you can either draw more cards or migrate more workers out. Also, Split up tariffs and trade deals into independent markers, allowing for having high tariffs with high trade deals etc. These changes would better reflect globalism as a neutral measure for freedom of movement of capital/labour around the world, whereas nationalism being a representation of locked down capital/labour. The term Free Market has been twisted a bit today from its original meanings. Going back to its classical liberal roots, free market meant freedom of movement of both labour AND capital. Today, it's been twisted to mean freedom of movement of capital, not labour. It seems that the game has internalised that a bit. But making the changes I suggest would also rectify that problem as well.

how fast will a new player learn this game?

@Heavycardboard 2 жыл бұрын

Mechanically, it’s not hard. Play a card and do what it says or choose a basic action. So anyone theoretically can play it. It’s the understanding of the implications of the actions that gives the game its depth. So I think playing a learning game will be plenty to understand things, for most players.

I believe in an earlier version of the rule book for a now superseded rule set of the game was - draw 8, play 6 then keep 2. This has since been updated and the rule book now states draw 7, play 5, and keep 2.

I'm wondering if middle class really have the tools to win. What works for companies serves capitalists better and what works for workers serves the worker class better. What is their edge?

@iamjaybugg 2 жыл бұрын

In other words, it is realistic.

@rachelbrown989 2 жыл бұрын

Isn't it that they are doing fairly well from both, so there edge is to make sure that both do OK, but not well enough to beat them. So if capitalist is ahead, then you boost the working class a bit, if working class is ahead you boost the capitalist side. So it probably isn't as easy with as obvious goals as either of the others, but a delicate balancing act where you are trying to take the middle ground, where you probably want both of them to have a similar score by the end, but where you have benefited from both and ended up slightly ahead. No idea if that is actually the case, but that is how I'm guessing it will work.
