Supremacy - The Game of the Superpowers

Supremacy - The Game of the Superpowers is a strategy game that simulates the struggle between great global powers. Launched in 1984 by Supremacy Games and distributed in Brazil by Grow, it challenges players to dominate the world through military tactics and economic strategies. Participants take control of superpowers, each starting with a specific set of territories and resources. The game takes place on a board that not only displays a map divided into continents and regions, but also includes important maritime territories, offering a new dimension to the disputes. One of the central elements of the game is the management of resources such as grain, ore and oil, highlighted by a stock market graph that reflects their fluctuations. Players must make strategic decisions about investment and the use of money while trying to capture and destabilize their opponents. With the possibility of using atomic weapons and exploring neutral territories, Supremacy offers an intense and immersive experience, where alliance and betrayal go hand in hand on the road to global conquest.

GAME mechanics

• Commodities speculation: In Supremacy, commodity speculation is a central mechanic where players trade essential resources such as oil, grain and minerals. The commodities market fluctuates based on global supply and demand, influenced by the actions of the players and events in the game. Players can buy commodities when they are low and sell them when they are high, seeking to maximize profits. These mechanics require market analysis, anticipation of trends and strategic moves to control the flow of resources and influence the economic growth of the superpowers.
• Rolling dice: Dice rolling in Supremacy is mainly used to resolve military conflicts, test random events and determine the effectiveness of specific strategies. Each player rolls a die to decide the outcome of battles, with different armed units having modifiers that affect the number of the roll. Events in the game, such as natural disasters or technological advances, are also determined by rolls, introducing variability and uncertainty. Players must consider the risks associated with rolls when planning strategic moves, balancing luck and skill to achieve their superpower goals.
