Mechanics of Supremacy - The Game of the Superpowers

• 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.
