Social Strike Game

The Social Strike Game is a group strategy game that’s fun for everyone. It’s an opportunity to use your imagination to figure out the ways an array of different groups and resources in a city/area can co-ordinate to develop social struggle, build community, deal with crises, respond to significant events, and smash capitalism.
