Bloc by Bloc: Uprising

Take back the streets of a changing city as Workers, Students, Neighbors, or Prisoners fight the police in an uprising. Build barricades, clash with police, occupy districts, loot shopping centers, and establish mutual aid networks before the military arrives. Each round represents one night. Factions roll action dice to move their blocs and act across the city while police operations and reactions deploy squads and launch attacks. In cooperative play, all factions work together to complete liberation objectives; in semi-cooperative play, secret agendas determine whether factions cooperate or pursue their own victory. If time runs out or any faction loses all its blocs, everyone loses.
