Hegemony is a heavy, asymmetric strategy game about running a modern society. Each player represents a social class: the Working Class, the Middle Class, the Capitalists or the State, and each has very different goals, resources and actions.
Over several rounds, players hire workers, run companies, buy goods and services, and propose and vote on policies like taxes, healthcare and immigration. Every decision affects the economy and the other classes. Each class scores in its own way. It's a detailed simulation for players who enjoy negotiation and long, thoughtful games.
