GAME mechanics

• Hand Management: This mechanic is central to Hegemony. Players have a hand of cards that represent resources, influences and strategies specific to their class. Managing these cards effectively is crucial to maximizing actions during your turn. Decisions about which cards to play, keep or discard directly affect a player's position in the game. It is important to balance the holding of defensive and offensive cards.
• Players with Different Skills: Each player takes control of a different social class, such as the working class, the middle class, the elite or the state. Each class has unique abilities that offer specific advantages and influence the interaction between players. For example, the working class can be more effective at mobilizing workers, while the middle class can influence public policy. Understanding the skills of your own class and those of your opponents is crucial to devising winning strategies.
• Voting: The voting mechanic simulates the political process, where players take part in votes to approve or reject important policies and decisions. Each class has a level of influence that can change the outcome of votes. Manipulating alliances and negotiating with other players are key aspects of achieving favorable results. The impact of the decisions voted on reflects on the economic and social situation of the game, affecting all participants.
• Action / Event: During the game, specific actions or events are triggered through cards or pre-established conditions. These actions can include the implementation of reforms, strikes, economic changes or state interventions. Events introduce elements of surprise and challenge, forcing players to adapt quickly to new dynamics. Predicting and preparing for these events can provide a significant strategic advantage.
