Description

Which Side is a cooperative board game that drops you into the midst of a tumultuous period in American history, the winter of 1910-1911, where workers are fighting for their rights and survival in New York. As a player, you'll take on the role of a family or small group of people living together, each with their own worker that can perform one action per turn. You'll navigate the challenges of working, paying rent and expenses, and participating in the struggle for workers' rights, all while facing off against the bosses' offensives. With a playtime of 120 to 180 minutes, you'll need to strategize and work together to overcome the obstacles and achieve your goals. The game is designed for 1 to 4 players and has a complexity that might take some time to learn, but the payoff is worth it. As you play, you'll experience the harsh realities of working conditions, unsanitary housing, and the struggle for fair wages. You'll need to manage resources, cause agitation, and sabotage to fight against the bosses, all while trying to stay healthy and out of prison. With its unique blend of worker placement and cooperative gameplay, Which Side is a game that will appeal to players who enjoy adversity, cooperation, and immersion. Published in 2021 by designers Franck "Counit" Catoire and Alexandre Weiss, this game is a must-play for anyone looking for a challenging and thought-provoking experience.
