Board game recommendation
Dec. 26th, 2016 11:41 amOh man. I went to a friend's birthday party last night and we played Bloc by Bloc. I've been hearing about it for ages (full disclosure; it was created by a friend-of-an-acquaintance) but never actually played it. I can in no way justify it for my games course, but I think I maybe need it for me.
The object of the game is to create an insurrection in a city. You have a faction and you work cooperatively (or semi-cooperatively, if you give everyone a sectarian agenda that may run counter to every factions) against the cops to loot stores, build barricades, fight cops, and create guerrilla gardens and assembly halls. It's a very complicated, involved set-up, but the game play is completely hilarious and wonderful. And it's beautifully designed; when someone I know designs a game, I tend to assume it's going to be well-written but look kind of crap, but this had quality art. It's a bit like Pandemic, mechanically, but naturally the theme is much more up my alley.
Anyone else played it? Anyone else want to play it?
