Description

Wir sind das Volk is a game of economic and political strategy, where two players take on the roles of East and West Germany, vying to rebuild and outdo each other in the aftermath of WWII. The game spans several decades, from the Berlin Airlift to the fall of the Berlin Wall, with each game playing out differently thanks to 84 individually designed action cards. As a player, you'll need to balance building up your economy and improving living standards with the risk of widespread unrest and international prestige. With a playtime of 60 to 150 minutes, Wir sind das Volk requires careful planning and strategic thinking to emerge victorious. The game's complexity and historical context make for a challenging and immersive experience, with events like the 1973 Oil Crisis and mass protests adding an extra layer of unpredictability. Will you successfully navigate the intricacies of socialism or capitalism to triumph over your opponent?
