Class Struggle (1978)

About this game

This Avalon Hill game is a vehicle for instructing students (there is a classroom section in the rules) on why Marxism is superior. The Workers move around a board while trying to survive against the Capitalist player who control everything. As the Workers unite they take power from the Capitalist player but if they do not suceed in uniting the Capitalist will win. The Marxist politics are very up front in this game in presentation and in the suggested reading in the rules. A surprising publication from a war game company

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
