Since we got an English translation, we could finally read it!

What I loved:

  • Theme. Oh yeah, it's powerful and motivating (in a good way).
  • Counter rules. Especially the Credibility one — idea beneath it is great! Less violent protests are getting much wider support according to a lot of studies.
  • Universal rules for a protest simulation. With a few tweaks, you can play a game about fictional cyberpunk protests. Or about ones that are going within other countries.
  • Player's roles. They are simple, but they add some variety.

What I would love to see in updates:

  • Example of a game. Structure is kinda complicated so an example would help a lot.
  • Different options for players. More option upon what to do within your turn could add some variety and depth. I would love to see universal options for:
  • Recruiting (adding more man). It could be videos for social media or any other activity.
  • Giving medical aid if someone would get hurt (produce Credibility or smth for each removed p token).

Thank you so much for the comment!
As you could see it's still a very raw work in progress. The rules for adding more people to the protest were a possibility that I still didn't work out exactly how to make them work. I will consider what you say about adding more options, because it really can add tactical depth.

Hey! Can't rate this game now, since we don't have anyone who can read Catalan good enough :)
Would definitely do it when there would be an English version (since you said that there would be one).
Even while it was created before the Jam (that kinda breaks the rules), we would still give you some feedback later
