The world is complex. Everyone looks out for their own interests. There are no more in-between seasons, and when it rains, it’s because the government is corrupt.
How many times have we heard our old man yelling at the TV, raging against the politician of the day—one time for taxes, another for wages, and yet another for this world full of thieves?
And we, half sympathizing, half agreeing, and half disagreeing. But now the time has come: what if we were the ones he’s ranting against?
Anything’s possible—especially in the world of board games. Filthy capitalists versus lazy workers versus rogue states versus brown-nosing bureaucrats, all locked in a battle for… Hegemony, of course! If you’ve ever wanted to represent a political class, come with me!
This is heavyweight material in the international board gaming scene. After all, the publisher is called Hegemonic Project, and they’re really serious about social balance—just look at their other flagship title, World Order (the name says it all, doesn’t it?). If we want to burn brain cells to lead our class to victory—whatever that might mean—Hegemony is the game for us, now and forever.
In a glorious explosion of 40 pages of rules and a few kilos of cards, tokens, meeples, and more, we’re called upon by our chosen faction to push our agenda. But beware—winning doesn’t come from crushing the other classes… On the contrary, just like in the real world, the key here is balance.
Strike without tanking the economy, make money but leave something for the poor, tax wisely without starving people, or work hard—but not too hard. The key lies in interaction: actions that benefit me without destroying you, in a kind of harmony the real world has never known… but that just might exist on a board.
This Euro-diplomatic masterpiece, however, carries with it, alas, a very Old World problem: endless setup time.
Yes, because hundreds of cards in countless different decks, all kinds of resources, and meeples in more colors than the rainbow might have us losing our temper before the game even begins—and that’s just not acceptable.
To make sure the arguments happen during the game and not before, we at The Dicetroyers have done our own Spending Review of the setup: our organizer for Hegemony (Extended Edition, with expansions included!) will restore calm before the coming storm, with trays and slots dedicated to every class, every resource, every good, and every shiny coin.
Because if we want to lead our Class to victory, we’ve got to do it with… Class!
