Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory (2023)
Publisher: Hegemonic Project Games
Why It’s on Our Radar: A deeply asymmetric political strategy game where players control different social classes; Workers, Capitalists, Middle Class, or the Government in a race for influence. The mix of economic mechanics and real-world politics seems fascinating to play.
Unconscious Mind (2024)
Publisher: Fantasia Games
Why It’s on Our Radar: A stunningly thematic worker-placement and engine-building game inspired by Sigmund Freud’s dream theories. I mean just the uniqueness of the theme is a reason to try this out.
Harmonies (2024)
Publisher: Libbelud & more
Why it’s on Our Radar: Harmonies is a tile-placement game where players build vibrant landscapes by strategically placing colored tokens to create habitats for their animals. Most importantly it’s beautiful, and works great even at two players!
Twilight Imperium 4th Edition (2017)
Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games
Why it’s on Our Radar: An epic strategy game set in a galaxy of political intrigue, warfare, trade, and alliances. It’s just such a massive experience that we can’t wait to get to the table, our copy is still shrink-wrapped in the shelf of shame unfortunately, as it’s challenging to get a good group together.
